Kid Cosmic (Netflix Cartoon From Craig McCracken)

Here's some information on Kid Cosmic. Season 2 is 8 episodes while season 3 is 6 episodes. Craig Mc Cracken said that he planned for the seasons to be these lengths.

Huh, so decreasing seasonal length?

At least he's doing it out of his own accord and ending the series on his terms instead of getting it cut short

I just caught up on Season 1 today. Can't wait for Season 2.

A few months ago, Craig Mc Cracken said how Kid was originally voiced by an unknown child actor before being recast due to hitting puberty. Well, now he revealed who voiced him. In the original pilot for the series, Kid was voiced by Nicolas Cantu (from Sofia The First and The Amazing World Of Gumball).

I finished season 2. Another fun season, but I'm trying to decide if I like it better than the first one or not. The mix and matching of the stones kept things unpredictable, but I kind of missed it when each character had a specific one. Fantos was a fun villain and Erodius was not what I expected at all. I still think Chuck was the best antagonist this show had, and I'm disappointed he didn't get much screentime this time.

I smiled at THAT reference at the end of the final episode. Very cheeky, Craig.

Got concerned when Fantos was first appeared, but at least he managed to be a genuine threat at times. Though it was weird that he pretty much disappeared at near the end.

Same, I even checked to see if they had the same VAs.

Here's another tweet from Craig Mc Cracken. He did once consider making Kid Cosmic 30 episodes long (3 seasons with 10 episodes each), but felt he could tell the story better if he had less episodes. He wanted to avoid filler so as to not slow the story down.

Good on him

I'm waiting to see what S3 has in store, maybe even a Lawyer-Friendly Cameo of Foster's Home characters?

Just watched Season 2, and loved it! Now I'm really looking forward to Season 3!

Season 2 was excellent. The quality and imagination put into the designs of the aliens in this show was great, and for that reason, I enjoyed the heist episode the most.

It's that episode and the fighting practice one for me. I might lean towards the former.

The show has been nominated for "Best Character Design - TV/Media" and "Best Storyboarding - TV/Media" for the 2022 Annie Awards

Maybe they could do a character based on Bendy, and have a Take That, Scrappy! moment towards him.

Why would they even even do that?>

Seriously. Spite is not a good element for writing. It'd just be too petty and mean-spirited for it to work.

They did that in Wander Over Yonder, with a character resembling Bendy being in a trashcan.

Personally I find bendy way less annoying than bloo or cheese who was a less intelligent, less funny Fred Fred burger. I liked the concept of Foster's but most of the characters were awful to me.

> They did that in Wander Over Yonder, with a character resembling Bendy being in a trashcan.

and it was a gag they did without obnoxiously pointing it out

Season 3 trailer. It'll come out on February 3rd.

Hmm, all the new things look interesting. I infer some plots are:

Biker in Black becoming the overall Big Bad of the series by retaking the main antagonist position.

Heroes on an underwater kingdom, with Jo dancing with what seems to be the King, possibly a diplomacy mission to get a stone.

Stones being used in the past and old users resurfacing, Telekiniti being a user of the green mind stone and a girl being seen using the yellow multiplying stone.

3rd season has been released.

The whole thing with the PPG and everyone being Global Heroes turning out to be Too Good to Be True was sorta obvious, but what I wasn't expecting was for it to be a whole Lotus-Eater Machine.

Also, turns out Papa G's 112 years old, and the crystal he wears as a necklace was the 14th stone and was keeping him alive. Since he returned it to Erodius, he probably doesn't have much time left...

The stones no longer work and although that's sad, it was inevitable that the heroes would have to give them up in the end. The aliens from space also return to the diner at the end.

Overall, this season, and by extension the whole show, was epic.

Anyone else have thoughts on the final season?

It was rather gutsy to make the entire season 2 finale a complete lie.

Also, was Kid's illusion dad voiced by Clancy Brown?

Just watched the third season, and boy did it deliver!

Not gonna lie, I really thought Papa G was actually dead and that was his funeral at the last episode, but that would have been too much of Downer Ending, and ceremony to honour the planets that Erodius destroyd was still good part.

Overall, great ending!

According to the credits of episode 3, Kid's illusion mom and dad were voiced by Laura Bailey and Travis Willingham, respectively.

Edit because I meant episode 3

Aw man, I liked the space setting.

EDIT: Oh wait, I spoke too soon hahaha
