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

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

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.

Wow! The changeover from President Biden to VP Kamala Harris as candidate could not have been more successful in just 2 days! It was as if they had been planning it. Could they have planned it? Are you excited by the positive Democratic response?

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:

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:

Harvey Weinstein Says He Has ‘Regrets’ and ‘Acted Immorally’ Ahead of New York Retrial Verdict: ‘But Never Illegal, Never Criminal’ - Variety

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”?
