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

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:

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.

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

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

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

What do you think of a parent telling their adult child to “keep their personal life to themselves” in relation to talking to them? No reason they should say that it was mean what should I do?

One of my favorite examples, Jessica Rabbit:

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

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