Oh, they weren't my nominations! I just knew who the nominator was talking about.
Regarding "Marvel Cinematic Universe" & AOS characters -- Agents of SHIELD, despite being a TV show, is definitely a part of it; 'MCU' is the blanket term for everything taking place in the Marvel universe designated Earth-199999, which at the moment is: Iron Man 1-3, The Incredible Hulk, Thor 1-2, Captain America 1-2, and Agents of SHIELD. As soon as they're released, Guardians of the Galaxy, the Agent Carter television show, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Ant-Man will also be a part of it. (I'm a little unclear about the shows they've announced will be airing on Netflix, but I think they're a part of that universe too.)
I mean, I wouldn't think it would be in the spirit of the exchange to request AOS non-rare characters in the MCU and then only ask for prompts based around AOS episodes, but whoever nominated them (again, it wasn't me!) may want those characters interacting with characters that haven't appeared on AOS, or reacting to events elsewhere in the universe. For instance, I've seen a lot of people talking about Skye fangirling Tony Stark or JARVIS, or Melinda having a relationship with Peggy Carter, and I *would* think prompts like that were in the spirit of the exchange, because Melinda and Jemma are rare characters when looking at the universe as a whole even though they're not rare in the AOS sub-fandom.
But again, not my nominations; I just can see how an argument would be made for including them.
