It does feel like some awkwardly placed humor to me. The whole song doesn’t feel completely right to me.
But Rob in spite of that is iconic to me. I hope we see him again. Who knows what mysterious backstory he has. He looked a little nervous when Sprout adressed him. Hmmmm. Secret assassin maybe?

I agree, G4 while had some drama moments, but not as common as many Japanese Animes, but it did has more drama moments than any other American animations in 2010s of its time.
Meanwhile in Japan, the most comedic and least drama animation there back in 2010s was Panty and Stocking.

People know that story and character analysis are not concepts exclusive to TvTropes, right? Like, a work’s page is just a forensic list of which storytelling conventions the work contains, and there’s more to a story than that.

Well honestly I loved that G4 was so downright hilarious. Somehow I doubt that it will ever be outdone by NewGen in that aspect, but the fact is there is way more to MLP than just FiM. As time has gone by and I have explored it more fully, I’ve realized that there are many, many different ways to Pony, and that it means something a little different and special to everyone with a vested interest. The creative forces behind MLP would do well to remain open minded to any and all possibilities.

Yes please. Sometimes I feel wish some G4 episodes took themselves more seriously.
I honestly feel like to me, what like in MLP is actually not as much the comedy as it is the drama.
I would also love to see better character interactions and show how one friend improves another.
Not just one pony solve problem herself without any help from another friend or have all the ponies turn into a collective apologizing without any unique interaction.

Restarting a franchise shortly after a generation with nine seasons, two spin-off shows, and a movie is not an enviable place to be creatively.
I think that right there was the problem, expecting it to be just like G4. It’s very evident that it wasn’t trying to be like FIM even with the continuity references and more it wanted to wipe the slate clean, just like how G4 did with G3. Of course comparing it to G4 would be a let down, FIM was a game changer and something that will likely never be repeated so it’s better than to write a different story to keep the franchise itself going.
Right. Hard to top that kind of success. The question remains as to whether NewGen will just be G4 2.0 or its own thing. I can’t really imagine anybody here wanting the former, fan or not. Those that want more G4 will simply continue to immerse themselves in that world rather than even bother with G5.
Creativity is the key to the success of NewGen, and that may just have to come at the expense of continuity, which is not necessarily a bad thing when you take into consideration that all past MLP Gens are vastly different from each other (although it appears that it is, for better or worse, a nod to its predecessor.)
I remain optimistic. One big difference seems to be in style. G4 was very slapsticky; a throwback during a time when 3D was already completely dominant. NewGen has decided to embrace 3D, and while I do lament that just about all animation these days is 3D, there are some advantages to the medium, so we could see some things in the new series that weren’t visually possible with 2D.
And it already has established that it’s going to be a more mature, less toony approach to MLP, with designs that seem to put more emphasis on anatomy and realism. Also given the subject matter, which appears to be a reflection on our modern day, it has the potential for a level of drama that we have not seen in previous Gens.
