Let's face it.... there are two songs from Rainbow Rocks, (one sung by RD and one sung by ... ugh... Trixie) that are pretty pedestrian

fite me irl m8

At first I disliked Awesome as I Wanna Be for dragging RD's character through the muck, but then I realized that Rainbow Rocks did that to more or less every character that wasn't Twilight or Sunset. After that, I began to enjoy the song in a "haters gon' hate" way. Still don't care much for Tricks Up My Sleeve, though. It's basically Awesome as I Wanna Be minus the energy.

This, incidentally, is why Friendship Games > Rainbow Rocks imo.

The Humane Unspecified-number aren't really the focus of the first two movies, so it's natural they'd be less well-rounded than the native Equestrians. As you say, Friendship Games is really the first movie that is free to focus a bit more on them. I just found the stakes of that movie far lower than RR, or even the first one.
