#and lets not forget she joins effie and spades second cop buddy in being scrapped from the radio broadcast

Yknow what? Poor Mrs archer, shame on me for not talking about how much things suck for her until now

Granted, it is easy to overlook her considering that by the standards of some other characters in the film like o Shaughnessy, Wilmer or arguably even Cairo I wouldnt say she pulled the shortest straw, but I'm also gonna go out on a limb and say Spade never fulfilled his promise to marry her

And at least in the case of the 3 meow meows, they each get a whole proper ending to their character arcs as opposed to just kinda evaporating from the plot like she does if you get me

#the maltese falcon #mrs archer #sam spade #i wouldn't try and argue shes a full on poor little meow meow or anything #(although i think you have to be both a lil sketchy and a lil pathetic to qualify as one anyway and i dont think mrs archer is either) #idk i hope things worked out for her #maybe she met cairo and/or o shaughnessy and bonded over how much spades an asshole #also speaking of mrs archer being forgotten by fans #the amount of gifs/images of her and spade kissing that are tagged as mary astor #and lets not forget she joins effie and spades second cop buddy in being scrapped from the radio broadcast #just #poor poor mrs archer #i wanna hold a candle for her now but i cant think how atm #iva archer #ok im not making a great case for myself talking about how underrated she is and then revealing that i only learnt she had a canonical #first name the other day but uhhh #ok ive got nothing
