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

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

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:

One of my favorite examples, Jessica Rabbit:

Do you think there will ever be a movie that features a line such as “You graduated at the top of your class in liberal arts, we need your help”?

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.

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.

I’m worried I have a bat bite on my hand, I have two small marks about 1 cm apart. I haven’t been in contact with a bat but I’m worried about at night. My fingers have a slight tingling sensation and my arm feels cold but isn’t. Am I ok?

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

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