[NA] Brie Larson-hate contradicts the box-office numbers of both her movies

That's not quite right as alienating a new "vocal minority" could be able to have a significant box office impact. It's a vocal minority but its also a vocal minority you're only hearing about due to where you're looking. It's worth highlighting that while the anger gets a lot of social media attention (and "people are angry" clickbait aggregation), it doesn't breakthrough to mainstream outlets even those primed for "culture war content."

yet Captain Marvel made more money than Wonder Woman

I have no idea how to evaluate Captain Marvel's box office run due to how it served as the herald of Endgame, a film which obliterated even rosy expectations. My assumption is it's not as successful as the clump of 400 million dollar grossing female lead action films headlined by WW & Hunger Games and my unscientific guess would peg and adjusted gross at somewhere between 275 and 350 million with the range of outcomes skewed to the right.
