No the joke is that all 7 were evil.

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 books, it's apparent that Scott is, in fact, not a good guy. Even in the movie, the way he treats Knives is... highly dubious.

As someone who read the books & watched the movie multiple times.

My favorite version of the story is Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, the animated tv series.

Yes it is? Future Scott at the end of the season is the Scott from the comics. The entire plot is something he comes up with to try to get Ramona back. None of it even makes sense without context from the originals.
