I did too, but I wasn't expecting them to straight-up show all but two of the powers in one shot.

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

A few months ago, Craig McCracken 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).

Here's another tweet from Craig McCracken. 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.

Yeah, it was for the best.

Very respectable reasoning .

It looks like the third and final season will premiere on February 3, just 1 year and 1 day after the show first premiered.

They're going all out with the Superheroes again! Bringing back the costumes, the villains, and everybody is into it .

I'm kind of curious about what the secret involving Kid is...experiments on heroic kids ?

Not wasting any time, neither. This will hopefully end like Hilda - like fireworks. We shall see.

I'm.....a bit mixed on it. On one hand, I would love to see the show continued. But on the other hand, I don't want the show to drag on for way too long. So, I'm fully content with 3 solid seasons, and had a good story from start to finish.

I wonder if we get a kid cosmic movie in the future in a line of powerpuff girls movie

uhhh, about that...

Spoiler: Vaugeish SPOILERS

I think the show Cheats with season's 3 in regards to its major twist's (and I think the premise of it is entirely misleading, considering it was barely foreshadowed outside of one line in the final ep of season 2,), while I appreciate what Craig was going for in regards to the genre deconstruction that is the show itself, I don't think it can really be called season 3, as is it season 2, part 2. I don't find it to really work, from a PLOT perspective. (from a character perspective, fine, but it falters at the end, in the same way, gravity falls finale faltered.)

To quote from another meta deconstruction: (Charlie Kaufman's Adaptation)
Find an ending. But don't cheat! Don't you dare bring in a deus ex machina.

I also REALLY want to know what exactly Craig pitched to DisneyXD in terms of whether this was the plan if the show got greenlit there, or seasons 2 and 3 were both written after the Netflix pickup(cuz it does feel that way, the finale of season 1 does certainly feel like the series finale to the disney XD show if it were picked up. that or, it always was going to be season1, and 2 and 3 were going to be 2, in the same way, wander was.)

You and me, both. If you know you already have a good beginning, middle, and end, like this show is more than setting itself up to have and has more than done so from the very beginning, IMHO - don't interfere with that. Let it be and let it go in peace, dangit.
