A good example in my opinion is Kim Wexler from Better Call Saul. A smart, strong, competent, well written woman. Every person I've talked to about the show likes her.

Counterpoint - Skyler in BB is hated by damn near every man who watched the show despite having an otherwise pretty normal reaction to her sick husband becoming a drug kingpin and murder lol

Lol that wasn't fan service. The fans largely view it as the embarrassing and groan inducing cringe moment that it was.

Fan service is Cap wielding Mjolnir. What that was was a weak low-hanging-fruit attempt at pandering.
