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

Thanks, Toyman, for clearing that up.

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

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.

Why are German films often so formulaic even though Germany is a European culture? I love them but they follow formula very closely like Hollywood. What are the best German films?

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

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

How is Sola Scriptura incoherent?

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.
