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

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.

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:

Why am I not losing weight despite eating 1500 calories daily? Male 24y 161kg 174cm and obese. My calorie tracking is on point, I mostly eat prepackaged food and occasionally cook for myself measuring only the raw ingredients, yes including the oil.

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

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

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