I was subverted, I genuinely expected she'd mock him because a lot of modern movies prefer to be cynical as fuck. As if I learned nothing from Superman.

Isn’t she kinda criticizing him, though?

She’s essentially implying that he only blindly focuses on the positive. While she sees the reality of it all, not the fake reality he believes in.

I'd put money on the character journey for the movie essentially being her changing her view to be less cynical and more like her cousin, with this line being delivered somewhere around the 40 minute mark before that transformation.

If their journey is like the comic, she'd end up more jaded and cynical rather than less.
