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

It is entirely possible to have a sexualized character to be well written and vital to the story they are in.
So I have to wonder what you mean by “fanservice-y”?
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.
Thanks, Toyman, for clearing that up.
One of my favorite examples, Jessica Rabbit:
Why is only the left side of my vagina bleeding, on and off?
Lara Croft is the main character of her games and movies, and Tifa is a valuable support character in her games and movies.
Let's be honest, her entire character is the epitome of the sexy pinup girl that Hollywood has pushed on us for generations.
