Is ramona the actual MC?
I am sure this has been discussed many times and ofcourse the story is named Scott pilgrim but I don't how to look at it so...
Is Scott facing ramona exes because Scott is the medium for her to get over her exes (not using as a stepping stone but a stick to hold )?
This thought actually made sense to me when not Scott but ramona faced roxie. She didn't need scott to fight her because she had stopped being gay so that relationship wouldn't hold her back meaning she could move on form that one on her own. But just so somebody had to fill that space she took over Scott's movements.
In the final battle Scott losses the 1st battle because ramona isn't sure if scott is enough, chau fights ramona when ramona necessarily doesn't want to fight, chau is the evil ex or Scott thinks she is and wants to cover her up with ramona but later realises how awful that was and just takes accountability for it. That sparks the final light and now she gets over Gideon and Gideon is turned into coins.
But then a verson of scott comes in because now he is the past that she has to forget but scott comes into term with it and doesn't end the other version meaning the memory of scott will remain with her forever and never die, however they end up together so what happens to the other version of scott it stays with chau, the 'evil' scott doesn't get turned into coin becuase he doesn't have to be forgotten he isn't an evil version he is just scott.
And Gideon didn't turn the exes into coins because he wasn't the final answer he says the leauge, the reason Gideon could not turn them into coins is because ramona doesn't want him to, the leauge is created so she doesn't have to completely be with Gideon, but with scott she is complete hence no leauge/past required. A new beginning. The leauge existed to keep ramona from being fully with Gideon.
Coins are rewards provided by the master for solving the problem they had, the bigger the problem the more reward the master gave. The deeper the attachment with past the more coins earned for filling those spots
