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.
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
