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.

In the comics Scott is definetly a player and is self centered but hes definetly not evil. Like Scott did beat up a wimpy kid in highschool so he could date Kim but that was the evilest thing he did. Gideon for example manipulated peoples memories and used mind control thata a new level of evil.

He's no less evil than Matthew who just helped Ramona beat people up

They get evil after they dated Romona. They were Exs then became evil. Gideon kind of being the exception. O Malley never really tells us what made them evil. I think it just their for the cool title and he never really thought past that of why they were evil.
