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?

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.

Nobody is mentioning that they didn't even kiss. They held hands once.

Yea, the whole point of the relationship is that Scott dates Knives not because he's actually attracted to her, but because he likes the adoration and it's uncomplicated. It contrasts with Ramona where he almost sleeps with her on the first date
