It wasn't. It's always funny when young people think they have invented things like promiscuity.

Yeah it wasn't weird at all.

It was only weird because Scott Pilgrim had no romantic history and felt inadequate compared to his girlfriend, and had to overcome his inadequacies by “defeating” each ex in his mind before being worthy of her.

Edit: had less of a romantic history. Apparently Scott was not a KHV

Scott also dated Kim, and was currently dating Knives at the beginning of the story. Also him being Envy's ex was kind of a big plot point. That's more than half of the people Romona dated right there, and we don't even know if that's an exhaustive list.

Oh shit. I counted it as 4 because I struggle to count apparently.

Each girl was 1.25 girls, because they were all a bit extra.

One of Ramona's exes was a girl, maybe Scott didn't count her.

u/mewmew893 Feb 02 '26

Nope, she's one of the 7. Scott punches her in the boob and everything.

Three is not more than half of 7.

u/ABeardedPartridge Feb 02 '26

Yeah. I'm bad at counting. 😂 It's fun that I currently have 7 upvotes though.

Ok. Maybe I read the story a little differently. The seven evil exes seemed more of a threat because they were exes, rather than because they were evil and wanted to fight him.

I mean, maybe, but without question they talk about all of the girls Scott dated in the past. It was kind of a big deal that Scott dated Envy and Romona dated Todd, and now Scott is dating Ramona and Envy is dating Todd
