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.

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.

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:

Do you believe that the portrayal of smoking in films and music videos contributes to the glamorization of cigarettes in society?

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.

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

Can you fly an American flag in the UK in your own private property there? What is the UK’s government stance on that? And if yes, do you also have to fly the UK flag or the American flag can fly solo?

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.
