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

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

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:

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

Recently, I cleared my JP Morgan coding round. Next, I received mail for a video interview. What kind of questions are asked in this round? How do I prepare myself?

Thanks, Toyman, for clearing that up.

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.

MAGA talking heads are saying that no MAGA child would publicly cry for their father, and want Gus Walz investigated as a crisis actor. I cried for my father and mother when they won or lost in life, am I a weird conservative or is MAGA messed up?

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