The problem is in how the figures were made.
Ms. Marvel for example if you take her apart, has 3 pieces inside plus the pieces that make her body. The original MU female buck really was overcomplicated to produce. It was annoying trying to put her back together after a kitbash. I feel sorry for those that have to assemble her regularly as a job.

The Captain Marvel version looks to only have two pieces. The hip ball joints, and the body itself. That'll streamline assembly tons. I wish there was a happy middle ground we could find on that though so we can get wrist articulation back, and maybe waist or torso articulation. (It's redundant to have both. Kind of like how it's redundant to have ankle swivel and calf swivel, plus upper thigh swivel. Upper thigh swivel is great, and ankle articulation is a must. Calf swivel was only there to prolong the leg creation for easy boot switching and wasn't really articulation for us anyway.)

I absolutely love the range of motion these have though over the previous.

It's one of my major gripes about the X-23 release they did. Probably my only grip. She's loaded down with articulation for any pose, but the hips limit her leg movement so it's impossible to pose her legs even with all that articulation.

So losing some articulation in favor of having better range of movement for poses is fine by me. Maybe later they'll work wrist articulation back in, and expand on that end like they started to do in GI Joe. That'll come later though. Gotta have a reason to re-buy the figure you already bought and all that.
