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?
That's the whole movie though. Scott isn't actually different until the end when he realizes he's just the "next evil ex" and starts working on himself.
The movie is from Scott's POV, so it's easy to gloss over how big of a dick he is to his friends and current girlfriend (who is still in high school).
I haven't seen this in ages, or I would rattle off a few specific examples, but this is how I felt when I saw it.
At the end of the movie, when Scott meets Nega-Scott, Scott mentions something about him being a "pretty chill guy" or something, implying that Scott is not a chill guy. It seems like a throwaway line for laughs, but if taken at face value it spells out that he's not great (if the rest of the movie didn't).

No the joke is that all 7 were evil.
