Going in with those intentions changes how you watch the movie. It makes flaws more salient and good parts less so. You become literally less able to enjoy or learn from the original work.

Should it be, though? Generating testable hypotheses should lead to greater understanding and trust or less trust, depending on the correctness of the book. So at least one of my investigation or groking procedures are wrong.
It seems you enjoy fictional works, and value that enjoyment. What does it mean for a fictional work to be “correct”? (As opposed to ‘good’?) What’s there to learn from the MCU?
I’m torn here because I do think you can learn a lot (correct or incorrect) from fiction and we could have a really interesting discussion on that, but I also feel like there’s an implicit query that is reading something into this post that I didn’t intend.

I probably agree with this, though you might be using those words differently than I do, and I’m curious about other perspectives on fiction.
What implicit query?
