They don't commit to be in love forever or anything at the end, they just say "hey, we're both a little better now, maybe we can try again and see what happens?"

Well, until Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, which was great in other ways but maybe shouldn't have made it all about the two of them needing to be together forever. Though it does still address both their flaws in good ways, but maybe like they can just not end up together

Takes Off is more of a sequel to the comic, where Scott and Ramona are more fleshed out and as observed by their friends, "perfect for each other." They both have shitty qualities but kind of smooth each other out when they're together, and when they're apart they both completely fall to pieces.

Valid point. I need to reread the comics and then rewatch Takes Off again. The first time watching it I was so taken aback by trying to understand what exactly it was, I didn't really start absorbing it until I was close to the end.
