If there's any lesson this will have taught Disney, it's that poking the manbaby neckbeards = more visibility and free publicity = bigger box office.
I think Captain Marvel's success is partially due to the outrage surrounding it, making it a curiosity that people just had to go see.

How could they be? Anybody even remotely interested in the film would have heard of the controversy surrounding it. I wouldn't have even remembered when it was supposed to come out if I didn't get a running reminder from people who were preemptively outraged about the film and Brie Larson.

You aren't a very good example of a general audience member. They just go to movies and that's that. I am, though. The general audience member isn't Grandma with a rotary phone and three television channels. It's people that use social media. Particularly, the 20-somethings and teens that fuel these films at the box office are glued to their phones and social media. When Captain Marvel gets as much attention and cross-coverage as it did, they're aware of it and by proxy it builds interest in the film.

That's very true but then again, maybe teens just don't give a shit. Very few people I know who have seen or are going to see the movie, were aware of the controversy. Well, you're speaking anecdotally and I'm speculating and there's no real way to tell who was oblivious to the controversy and who wasn't. I'd still argue that even if they weren't aware of the particulars of it, they were made more aware of the film because of the heightened visibility and conversation the controversy provided. There's no denying that this film got more people talking than, say, Ant Man and the Wasp, and as a result more people heard it being talked about even if they were clueless what the talk was about.
