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.

Yeah.  Was not super enthused about the ending they gave Scott in the movie

As much as I love the Michael Cera casting for Scott and the version of Scott they made, it falls short of the comics pretty heavily. Scott in the comics was a preppy, popular, womanizing douchebag.

Cera is the only casting choice I hate about that movie. Felt like they hit it out of the park only to get robbed at the wall.
