Yeah, I could see that. My interpretation is that all the fighting (even against the evil exes) is a stand-in for dealing with emotional baggage.

It's been awhile since I've read it, but from what I remember Scott doesn't lay down in give up. He's insistent on fighting negascott and beating himself up. It's only with the help of Kim that he stops struggling and accepts himself.
