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:

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 questions will be asked by the executive director of JP Morgan for 6 years of experience in Java? The technical rounds are already cleared.

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

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

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

One day, I happened to walk past where my crush was with friends. Then all of a sudden they start laughing, and someone maybe him, goes "freaking (my name) with her freaking hair!" Can anyone offer insights into this? We're in middle school.

Thanks, Toyman, for clearing that up.

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