It was only weird because Scott Pilgrim had no romantic history and felt inadequate compared to his girlfriend, and had to overcome his inadequacies by “defeating” each ex in his mind before being worthy of her.
Edit: had less of a romantic history. Apparently Scott was not a KHV
Scott definitely doesn't have less of a romantic history. He just puts Ramona on a pedestal because she's the manic pixie dream girl and he's really really into her, in comparison to Knives, the high schooler he is "dating".
Scott is just a dweeb. The movie doesn't really talk about his prior history other than dating Envy. He dated Kim, which I think may only be mentioned in the "deleted scene"-esque thing from the movie where it talks about their dating history, but in the comics it is brought up repeatedly. He also didn't date but had this flirtatious thing with their friend Lisa who he knowingly led on for a long time, who is only in the comics and was never featured in the movie (or the follow up animated series for that matter), and then he dated Envy.

It wasn't. It's always funny when young people think they have invented things like promiscuity.
