But that includes the 50s, which are literally some of the most iconic pieces of western animation on earth...

I suppose we just have VERY different tastes.

Early Bugs Bunny is one of the most annoying bullies in media.

I'm not questioning its importance in animation or pop culture in general.

Bugs Bunny. Especially in any work before the 90's.

AJ and Dash have the worst episode in 'Non-Compete Clause'.

Rarity behaves the worst in 'Dragon Dropped'.

Cutest filly, of course...

Fleet Foot! I love her! I know she didn’t really have any great or outstanding moments but I can’t help but really like her. I love her design.

 

She's simply best Wonderbolt.

The writers didn't explicitly have it stated in the episode and left it ambiguous to let the viewers themselves decide whether or not it was truly cannon. If you wanted it to be cannon, then it is. If you didn't want it to be cannon, then it isn't and RD and AJ are just roommates/very good friends. It is completely up to the individual viewer to decide whether or not they want it to be cannon.

While you are right on their intentions, the fact is that there's no confirmation as heavily hinted as it was.

Technically, there is no "right" and "wrong" answer when it comes to this particular topic.   

That's why this is not true, if we go by technicality, they are not a canon couple.

Confirmation is everything for something to be canonical in any work. And it is also the main reason why the whole 'canon ships' discussion is completely absurd. Whether a ship is canon or not is clearly stated in its content.

Now, the good discussions come when the question is whether a ship is better or worse for the involved characters.

Dragon Dropped made it clear that she was.

An episode of Rainbow Dash and Spike adventuring (post winged Spike).

The dynamic they showed in Shadow Play was amazing, I definitely would have enjoyed a complete episode of that.

That pink mare that keeps jumping everywhere and uses her mane as another appendage.

I watched Magia Record S1 about a month ago, pretty entertaining.

I also recently rewatched Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, I had already forgotten how much I liked that series. When I was a teenager I found Relena to be annoying but now I actually liked her much more.

Because we're both idiots about the same topics and very respectful about the interests that we don't share.

I really dislike her because of the way she yelled at Scootaloo.

She's the best pony for several reasons, but the one I've always cherished is how determined she is to help others when she notices something wrong.

Spike's broad shoulders are disturbing for a dragon.

The only ones I can think of are:

- Marble Pie. 

A rock could have played her part, and I'm not even talking about rocks with great personality such as Tom and Boulder.

- Grogar. 

I actually like that Discord was impersonating the ridiculously hyped ram.

That moment just after AJ snaps at Strawberry Sunrise and Rarity makes her realize her mistake... those bitter tears of true repentance are part of what make AJ the best character for me.

No. They're not related.

Guayabos. (From Cuernavaca)

The huge shoulders don't belong to what I acknowledge as a dragon.

It is a nice design, just one I don't relate to what a dragon should be like.

Here's my list...don't hate me

Only one I don't agree with you is 'The Cart Before the Ponies'. The rest of them are great IMO.

I have no idea why Student Counsel gets as much hate as it seems to... It's honestly the best episode in Season 9.

Is it hated? I didn't know! That's exactly the best episode on S9!

Gen 1. First time I chose Bulbasaur, but I've played with the three of them, I prefer to use Squirtle.

Gen 2. Cyndaquil. I chose Chikorita once.

Gen 3. I've chosen the three of them, but I prefer Torchic.

Gen 4. Piplup, always.

Gen 5. Oshawott once, Snivy another 3 times.

Gen 6. Have played with the three of them, Froakie was my first.

Gen 7. Rowlet!

Gen 8. Have only played once, with Sobble.

Starlight Glimmer / Applejack... I don't find a nice dynamic between them, they're both great separately, but seem to be too alpha and too different from each other to have good or entertaining interactions.

Favorite:

Backto back AJ.

Rarity became a very close second since S4 and actually surpassed AJ for a bit there (S6-S7) but AJ is just the best and regained her place before the series ended.

Least favorite:

S1- Rainbow Dash: I don't like arrogant hotheads. Luckily for her, 'Sonic Rainboom' and 'Cutie Mark Chronicles' came, then 'Read it and Weep' sold her as a lovable character.

S9 - Pinkie Pie: While Rainbow Dash might behave as a jerk from time to time out of egotistical reasons; Pinkie Pie can go full a****le without a reason other than 'Fun!', something that most of the time is her own concept of 'fun' and no other pony shares her concept of 'fun' when she's being such a moron. She's still adorable most of the time, though.

I think that Cheerilee and Big Mac look cute together, but their interactions (outside the poisoning incident) show nothing more than friendly neighbors.

The main thing that itched me about Cheerilee's status is how that first H&H day episode focused on her singleness and, while being an important pony for three secondary characters, never showed any progress on said matter. My guess is that she's simply a character without the writers/editors attention. She served her purpose on early episodes, then got shoved aside.

At the end, Sugar Belle was definitely the best option for Big Mac, their S8 and S9 episodes prove it.

How does the whole series proves it's not canon?

There's no confirmation of a romantic relationship between them during the series, it's as simple as that.

For that matter, neither one of them is confirmed to be in any romantic relationship, so I don't think that's a huge deal for SoarinDash shippers who want to headcanon that they're an item.

Now, even when you may ship characters in another canon relationships, there's always AU's to wonder about. IMO shipping is about feeling good with the characters you like, so no one can tell you if a ship is wrong.

Canon is not everything when you feel good about shipping a pair (or even a group) of characters.
