I don’t know if it’s the worst, but I am very disappointed with the movie adaptation of Mortal Engines. The series has such a rich world to explore and very good plot points that would have been amazing to see on the big screen.
The movie ruined any possibility to see a sequel or even a reboot in a very long time (similar to what happened with His Dark Materials), although the fandom now prefers that if there is another attempt at an adaptation it has to be a TV series and animated.

A concept that executives are either terrified of or actively trying to erase.
Anything that’s not a painfully unfunny ooh-so-edgy-for-1990 “adult sitcom” is barely allowed to exist in streaming archives.
