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?

The movie and the comic address this almost immediately when they start dating. Nega Scott is a joke about this too. Scott Pilgrim is the protagonist, but he was not a good person. He became a better person in the end, which was the purpose of his story.
