While I'm sure the writers of both of those movies intended them to be in the same universe, at the end of the day the editorial decision is that of Marvel Inc. That said, the Appendix guys have carte blanche with Marvel to officially assign reality numbers to all forms of Marvel entertainment (comics, movies, television shows) with final approval by Marvel. That said, when they assign a reality number to something it's approved on an editorial level by Marvel and becomes cannon.

What I am saying is: What a write intends doesn't mean jack, the final editorial decision is Marvel. They can decide tomorrow that Captain America is secretly a chicken from Earth-29939 who replaced the real Captain America when he is frozen in ice. If Marvel prints it, it doesn't matter that a zillion writers before hand intended all those appearances of CapChicken America-29939 to be the real Captain America of Earth-616.

If you have a problem processing it, I suggest you educate yourself on what an editorial decision is.
