For years now, I have heard complaints about how romances in certain action and superhero movies and tv shows have distracted from the film, and how they could be removed and the story would be the same, and etc. The hate for it can become overwhelming to read. To me, as long as the romance is written well, it has a place. The main characters are people; they can fall in love or lust or whatever. It doesn't have to weaken or ruin their characters. However, I also don't mind it when some fan favorites die, so what do I know?
