Are fanservice-y characters (i.e. Lara Croft, Tifa Lockhart) immediately bad?

Still, Jessica is well written, and an important part of the movie story. Particularly when we realize everything she did in the movie was because she genuinely loved her husband:

Let's be honest, her entire character is the epitome of the sexy pinup girl that Hollywood has pushed on us for generations.

Lara Croft is the main character of her games and movies, and Tifa is a valuable support character in her games and movies.

Why do atheists want to see God so badly?

It is entirely possible to have a sexualized character to be well written and vital to the story they are in.

How a character is written and how a character is drawn are two different things, and usually the product of two (or more) different people.

One of my favorite examples, Jessica Rabbit:

What is the original source of the discord between Princes Harry and William? Does it go back to their childhood, or did it start with Meghan Markle?

So I have to wonder what you mean by “fanservice-y”?

Thanks, Toyman, for clearing that up.
