With Stevil, Spencer tried to be clever and wrapped him in Nazi symbolism, all while claiming 'not a Nazi, honest!'. It was trolling at it's worse.
With Sam, Spencer turned him into a failure. I can't think of a replacement Cap who deserves to succeed more than Sam, and yet under Spencer, he face planted. I know some want to say that Spencer was drawing parallels between Sam's tenure as Cap and Obama's presidency, in how both were subject tu unrelenting criticism, which is fine, in theory.
The problem is that Spencer seemed to ignore, or not care, that Obama never gave up. He kept on doing his duty until the end. Sam, not so much. Sam deserved a better tenure as Cap
