I don't think it's about how powerful these women characters are, it's the intent behind it, which is basically to titillate adolescent males. Look at how it's marketed: Bayonetta - SHE HAS AN ARSE, LOOK AT HER ARSE; Tomb Raider - SHE HAS TITS, LOOK AT HER TITS... Lollipop Chainsaw - well everything really, but admittedly it's all very tongue-in-cheek and kind of pokes fun at the whole thing.
