You are right to be suspicious of such claims. Claims are often exaggerated and being able to see a villain really is what clinch's it. Seeing a villain do something REALLY REALLY evil isn't enough we need to see them doing something that would give soulless monster their default setting, not just their battle setting.

"Oh professor Hojo is a planet killing sadistic nut-job, well so what all the bad guys pretty much fit that bill I mean it's not like- wait he killed our late girlfriend's parents, well ok but it's not like he didn't have anything to gain from th- wait...he doesn't even care about his own employer...wait- he was doing WHAT to his own wife and kid?!"

Complete Monster in addition to being something that should rarely be used can be misapplied just based on the fact we don't see the villains in personable situations, as I have said before, Hitler had a loving wife, liked kittens puppies and likened his country to a surrogate family to make-up for his own abusive childhood. He is not a good person by any stretch and anyone who would assign "Anti-Hero" or "Anti-Villain" to that thing needs to be shot out of a cannon, but complete monster he is not. Still if you just saw Triumph of the Will and heard about the things he was doing to France, Romania, Britain and well the Jews, you could be for thinking that was all there was to him. If he looked at a baby and his first thought was " I wonder how much TNT I could fit into that thing." or "I wonder if the Norse gods will start answering my state prayers if I sacrifice Eva Bran to Odin." then yeah he would be but alas he wasn't. I urge you not merely to be suspicious of shows with too many "Complete Monsters" but also of anyone labeled a "Complete Monster" whose daily life we don't get to see, for how someone behaves to their enemies and how they behave in a personable scenario are very very different.
