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

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

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.
