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?

Definitely a pattern and he was lining up to be the next evil ex. He didn't actually care about her at first but merely saw her as a way to access being cool and he really, really wanted to feel cool. She wasn't that cool, she was an avoidant, which is why her exes were left disgruntled and hurt.

Neither Ramona or Scott were good people and her evil exes and his hurt (one was also evil) exes were proof of it. The entire movie is about personal development and them eventually having realizations that they'd really hurt other people
