I guess she was since Ultron had already been used in the movies, while also referencing him in the show as a case of why making Aida was a bad idea. Consider Ultron's Oedipus complex, but with Dr. Radcliffe and Fitz instead of Hank Pym and Janet.

Ultron develops a sentience, grows to hate his creator, falls in love with someone close to him, and rebuilds himself to break free of his creator's control over him. That is awfully similar to Aida's arc last season.

Gotcha. With that and the Inhumans, I guess it's easier to get away with pastiches of what Fox owns the rights to, by doing it on TV rather than in movies, so they will have to make use of whatever Marvel Studios don't plan to use (which makes me curious how the thing with Tilda Johnson will play out for both 'Black Panther' and season 2 of 'Luke Cage'). Although I highly doubt they will at some point in the future introduce their own pastiches of the Fantastic Four. Power Pack, if done well (or badly, depending on your viewpoint of the subject), could easily replace the F4 in the MCU as the Inhumans have with the mutants. A cosmically-powered quartet.

There is a rumour that Marvel Studios are apparently showing interest in doing a a feature film for Power Pack, but I'm highly skeptical of the idea of it. Not just because judging of the past with the failed Power Pack pilot, but also I don't think targeting the PG-crowd (the same group of people the 'Spy Kids' movies was made for) is in their best interest, when doing PG-13 films is in their wheelhouse. I would be just as skeptical of it if they were planning on doing an R-rated film, just because of the recent successes of 'Deadpool' and 'Logan' from Fox.
