Cuz,@brinderwalt is right. Joss got Jossed and how does that happen to our ultimate PTB?
It's a brilliant PR move for Marvel.

It's that thing of putting the first romantic interest from the comics, into the movies without necessarily realising that they weren't really the most important to the lead character. (I mean has Vikki Vale ever been a presence in the comics as much as Burton's movies suggested?)
Though strangely enough the Raimi Spiderman films didn't use Betty Brant in this way. (Which actually is a little bit of a shame given that the girl playing her actually did have great chemistry with Peter..) But they still arguably screwed up by highlighting MJ over Gwen to begin with. When they would have been better holding off on that, the way that the new films seem to be doing..
As for Jane Foster. In the regular comic she hadn't really played an important part in decades. And when she did, she wasn't really a good role model in the slightest, falling into a lot of the stereotypes of the time. Casting Natalie Portman as her filled me with the same feeling that I had seeing Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique. i.e A good actress largely wasted in playing a character that has pitifully little depth in the books. Natalie for instance would have been much better as Kitty Pryde, or a character that has a lot more spirit to her than the damsel in distress that Jane Foster often is. Think I would be happy to see her written out in the Thor sequel, and maybe Sif given a larger role as a consequence..

But a lot of the romances from the golden/silver ages are really dated, and full of the sexist storytelling of the time. Plus, (And I think this sometimes get's forgotten,) Not every super-hero story has to be about the romance.
