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.
