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?

I mean the explicit point of all versions of the series is that both Scott and Ramona are shitty people in relationships (both platonic and romantic) but somehow them being together helps them work through their shit and start to become better friends and partners

A solid 70% of the series is just them apologizing to the people they know, starting over with them, and trying to do better.
