Wow, that Reddit section is pretty insightful, particularly the one about Micro. Now that I think about it, with all these connections all I really want now is for an Inhuman from Inhumans to be in another show - you know, anything to prevent the show from getting another season...

It's recently been revealed that the Runaways movie was replaced with Guardians. So I would assume it's always been planned to be MCU. But with them mentioning Obama and Clinton in two back to back episodes (when Ellis was president from 2008-2016), that does throw a bit of a wrench into the cohesion with the greater MCU.

Obama was also mentioned in Luke Cage. In those instances, we just say that it's a real-world reference. Also, Obama could just be a very famous senator in Earth-199999, who knows. But I do think that it was not originally intended to be in the MCU - after all, why did they only announce as such a couple of months before release, when we usually know immediately if a show is or not?
