I know this discourse is going to start flaring up again because Takes Off just released, and I've seen bits of it already, but the point of Scott Pilgrim as a series is not that Scott has to go through character development and stop being an ass in order to 'win' the girl of his dreams.
It's that Scott and Ramona are two fundamentally very similar people with a long list of exes who they hurt in very similar ways and they both need to stop that and grow as people in order to have a healthy relationship with each other.
This is highlighted mostly in Books 4-6. Volume 4, Scott Pilgrim Gets it Together, has Scott and Ramona's relationship hit a low point because they both mistake the other for cheating. Ramona thinks Scott is getting too chummy with Lisa, and Scott thinks the same about Ramona and Roxie, and they nearly fall apart because of it.
Volume 5, Scott Pilgrim vs. the Universe, contrasts Ramona finding out that Scott two-timed her and Knives and becoming outraged by it, and Scott being told that Ramona did the same thing to Kyle and Ken. In fact, Scott almost loses to the Katyanagis, and only manages to pull out a win because Kim lies about Ramona having off-screen growth to give him enough motivation to fight back.
And it's in Volume 6, Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour, that this finally gets hammered home. In the aftermath of his and Ramona's breakup, Scott slips into a self-destructive depression where all he does it sit around the house and play old videogames, until Wallace convinces him to go into the wilderness to find his feet again. After Ramona returns, she reveals that she attempted to go into the wilderness and find her footing again, but all she did was sit around her dad's house and watch old TV.
They're so similar to each other that they even mope in the same general way.
They're both hot messes who did some dodgy stuff, the major difference between them is that most of the people Scott hurt were, y'know, relatively normal, while Ramona's exes are mostly crazy people who decided to join up with a "League of Evil Exes" whose main goal is apparently "Murder any of Ramona's future partners and take her back by force."
The books are relatively light on details for how the League actually worked, but it's clear from the second episode of Takes Off that all of them besides Gideon believed that whomever killed Ramona's new partner would automatically be with her again, and they're shocked when Matthew tells them that she rejected him. Meanwhile, Gideon's overall objective wasn't elaborated on in the show, but it's presumably the same as it is in the books: Cryogenically freeze his own seven exes, Ramona included, and use the Glow to brainwash them all into being his girlfriends at the same time.
In Takes Off, Ramona is able to mostly resolve her issues with the Exes herself, over the course of her investigation into who took Scott and faked his death, but the overall difference between the book timeline and the show timeline is that one spotlights Scott's growth, and the other spotlights Ramona's growth.
They're perfect for each other, and it's because they're both hot messes who need to grow the hell up before they can have healthy adult relationships.

I wholeheartedly believe Roxie would send Scott this photo and then turn her phone off. From Ramona's phone, even.
Sketch based on a tweet I was sent (original image and link will be under the cut!)

From this tweet; if you enjoyed this then be sure to say "thank you Volt"
I debated rendering this further but... eh. You get the bonus content from me instead; I just thought the visual of Kim taking that photo was a bit funny-
Also a bonus fun thing I guess? I couldn't figure out what to do with the BG, so in my head they're like, behind Leo's Place (been replaying the game on my ps4 lately, hence all the bricks and boxes and other throwable things...)

Apparently I have a thing for comic friendships where one's gay, the other is ginger and one of those two is named "Wallace"...
And I also like shipping them together for some reason

You know I find it interesting that the comics establish that Roxie taught Ramona everything she knew regarding the subspace roadways I think that leaves up a lot of ideas I mean the subspace is actually really a big part of Ramona so I think it speaks a lot of Roxie's influence on her idk I find it cool, seems the kind of detail that would be interesting to explore in fics and such, because in the comics Roxie also uses roller skates, I mean just saying...
Idk if I'm interpreting wrong, but it seems weird to me I haven't found anybody addressing it which well idk maybe I'm reading too much into it

Now that the strike is over I can post stuff! Wips for some edits incoming, as I would like broader feedback maybe
First two are just a Kim edit I did on my phone this go around- I wanted to give her slightly longer hair, though. It's like a very miniscule change but I am fond of it? Idk. I kept both for the sake of having both.
Red Panda Knives! As was brilliantly suggested in the discord, so many thanks for that-
And Stacey and Jimmy! As suggested by @gayspectacless (unsure if entirely wittingly,) I went with a fallow deer for him! And Stacey is a mink :3 I was gonna give her her claws back but I think I didn't because I feel like she'd trim them? Eh, there's always future edits to course correct.

Okay there are, like, real arguments I could make about why Scott Pilgrim is definitely a trans lesbian who doesn't know it yet, but have this instead
