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:

Thanks, Toyman, for clearing that up.

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

What does it mean when a guy says he doesn't want to ruin the friendship? Is he rejecting me or is there another explanation? Why would a guy choose not to risk the friendship if he has feelings for me?

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.

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

One of my favorite examples, Jessica Rabbit:

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.

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”?
