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

Thanks, Toyman, for clearing that up.

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

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:

One of my favorite examples, Jessica Rabbit:

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.

How will the international community, especially the United Nations and major powers like the US, respond to the breakdown of the Gaza cease - fire by Israel on March 18 and the resulting large - scale conflict?

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.

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

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