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

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

One of my favorite examples, Jessica Rabbit:

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:

Why do some young mothers trick a guy into believing that they're pregnant and it's their child when years later they find out that it's not even theirs should he still pay child support or not?

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

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.

Thanks, Toyman, for clearing that up.

Has anyone ever really waited that long and gotten a paper check mailed 20 days ago?

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

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