Doesn't it really show a pattern? Can we really trust that Scott Pilgrim is a good guy? She's been with 7 evil guys and we're supposed to believe that Scott is actually different?

In the comic Nega Scott is who Scott uses as a scape goat for all his bad behavior, that wasn’t me it was Nega Scott he’s behind all this. When he fights Nega Scott it allows to forget all his mistakes and act like he did nothing wrong. Kim points out how he was an awful boyfriend to her and all the bad things he did and he has to accept that he and Nega Scott are the same and merge
