Spencer could feasibly have had a decent part to play this season, given he was one of the few remaining original Alexandrians and his mother had a poignant death scene in Season 6.

Instead, the show simply doubled-down on his anger and resentment towards Rick. Some of this was justified, but the writers never seemed keen on presenting it in that context: Rick's the hero, the good guy, and thus Spencer just became a massive dick, and risked the lives of people around him out of his desire for revenge.

He mostly came off as whiny and irritating, and the only good moment was his memorable death scene.
