Special
After the ending of season two, a made for TV movie was put in to production. The movie was called Wrath of the Thousand and was very loosely based on the comic Coming of the Thousand. The movie takes place shortly after the events of season two, with Peter having to face a new villain named the Thousand, who has the ability to create spiders that he can control. The movie is a lot darker than the actual series, with characters dying and not being resurected at the end, and small amounts of blood. There is also some nightmarish imagery in the film, as the Thousand's spiders come out of his mouth, and whenever this happens his eyes go completely white. Because of all of this, the movie is rated PG-13.
