Kid Cosmic: One Of The Best Kid Characters In A While 

Kid cosmic is criminally underrated, this show deserves more attention.

I love that the team is made up of people from all over the age range.

Isn't it funny how I find the "annoying" kid perfect, and the "perfect" kids annoying. I can't tell you how many obnoxiously flawless, well behaved kids turned me off a show. Kid was such a refreshingly realistic, flawed, yet lovable boy, I binged the show in one setting about a month ago.

I've noticed a big reason why people tend to hate kid characters is because they act too much like real kids

FINALLY! Somebody talks about kid cosmic. It's deserves so much more fame.

can we all agree that stuck chuck is the best character of the series?

Tuna Sandwich A cat who actually wants to use his powers to help others is miracle in itself.

The scene where chuck shows kid the video gave me chills

This show depict the most accurate portrayal of super heroes in the real world

Most kid heroes suffer from the whole what tv trope called “Most writers are adults.” Kid from Kid Cosmic and the kids from Power Pack are one of the few child superheroes who don’t suffer from this.

My favorite part for now is the complete ending of episode 5 when somebody said "kid is the comic relief" and how all this scene escaltes to the big reveal

So in conclusion: Kid is the 2020 decade's new Lilo And I mean this in a good way because not only do they have a lot in common, but they're both well written children! :D

I only watched this because of it being created by Craig McCrackin, I fell in love of this show's story as soon as I understood the plot. Also you said Rosa took the red stone, The red stone allows you to predict the future.

Kid kinda relates to the original Ben Tennyson from Ben 10. A kid who discovers an object from outer space that grants him super power and will use it to act like a super hero and be noticed as one.

Hands down. I love it when they make a child character actually feel like a child. Obviously it's not always going to be pretty but in the end it's beautiful. Every time he got angry and acted out it was exactly how I imagined a kid his age reacting. It really struck a chord with me . I predicted a lot of the plot Beats but that didn't matter because the journey to each plot beat was so fun and somewhat unexpected and I loved the characters. It gave me Foster's home for imaginary Friends/ wander over yonder on crack vibes.

Bro the way Kid acts is really nostalgic for me cuz I was really hyperfixated with things like superheroes as a kid. I used to be weirdly strict with how I played these Marvel larp games with my cousin and I'd usually try to get the plots to revolve around my edgy oc.

I don't find Kid annoying. I really like Kid cause I think he's one of the most realistic and relatable depictions of a ~10yr old kid in animation in terms of mental development. When I was a child and pretended to be a superhero or a spy or whatever I acted and thought exactly like Kid.

Finally someone talks about this show, I loved this show when I binged it and have been waiting for season 2 since

Even though the first four seasons of PPG and Wander Over Yonder are still my favorite shows from Craig McCracken, Kid Cosmic is a pretty good show.

Haven't heard of the show but it sounds interesting. People forget that a character doesn't have to be perfect or even good to be interesting... idk, but it seems like people get really upset over very human characters sometimes.

Kid's character is perhaps best represented by his theme song: "The Kid". It's loud, annoying, and persistent in its 'look at me HEY YOU'RE NOT LOOKING' kind of way but given time it slowly became charming and a dangerously irresistible earworm that won't leave your mind and heart no matter how hard you try to forget it.

I wonder....is it possible that “frustrating” characters that go through arc possibly work better in binge format? You don’t have to wait a week wondering if they’ll regress, after all. It’s one full story that explores highs and lows of a character. For instance, let’s look at Catra from She-ra. We understood where she was coming from, why she was hurt and so on within the first season-yes there was more that came later, but the core parts of her story were there. By not having to wait for weeks on end to see an episode that showed a more relatable side, but rather that you can see her toxic actions and sympathetic traits right next to each other, I think it made her character a bit more digestible to the audience. It’s just a theory.

in the first episode, when he destroys his equipment and comes back to the camera to talk about how he can get mad, that’s when I really related to him as someone who can get worked up over things easily. it helped me understand where his actions were coming from, which makes him a really effective and human character :)

Remind me of Gon Freeces from "Hunter X Hunter" and Shiego "Mob" Kageyama from "Mob Psycho 100" where those two aren't the savior of the most heroic protagonist in anime. For Mob, he's timid, shy, easily manipulated, and locks his emotions but throughout the series, he's been developing, showing more of his emotions, standing up for himself, and gaining more friends. For Gon, although he has typical shonen protagonist traits like energetic, care for his friends, and dumb but unlike the other characters, he is shown to be selfish, hypocritical, will be friends with someone that benefits him, even if they are serial killers, and the kid doesn't mind of killing someone, even if they are innocent.

This is an underrated show 10/10

I loved this too. Also I know I said it on Twitter but happy 50th Craig McCracken

I soo agree; kid (as well as Rosa) is best kid character in a long time (they act like real kids)

Can’t wait for season 2. This show is amazing.

IM SO GLAD FINALLY SOMEBODY IS PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS MASTERPIECE!!!

I sure do hope the internet doesn't ruin the innocence of this character.

The world needs more Kid Cosmic videos.

Anne from Amphibia and the Plantars nearly drove me insane for the first 2 seasons for the same reason kid is wonderful. Anne took forever to learn from any of her mistakes, even when it should have been obvious. (I got used to it eventually though, and it also got better. Still a good show.)

I just realized that each of the characters (minus TS) are wearing clothes with the same colors as the stones they each use. Jo wears a PURPLE-striped shirt and has PURPLE-dyed hair. Pappa G's shirt has ORANGE stripes. Rosa wears a BLUE dress. And Kid wears a shirt with GREEN-ish sleeves.

I randomly watched it recently and I don't understand why no one is talking about it. This show was amazing!

At first I didn't like kid especially that one scene when he was jumping on the counter as I thought he was going to be annoying but after a little while I started to like kid overall the shows pretty good 10/10 can't wait for season 2!

kid cosmic: simply amazing, fluid animation, great story line people: nah. encanto: exists people: OMG SO GOOD AM MAEK TIK TOK WAAAAAAAAA

Finally someone talks about this

I’m glad you’re talking about this. I don’t usually make comparisons cause I don’t want people to think I’m saying a show is “just like” a different one, but…Kid filled the hole in my heart that Aang and Steven left when their shows ended. He reminds me of them but is still his own original character and I love him so much. Also you should check out Lilo and Stitch! Lilo is another perfect example of a kid character who’s likable BECAUSE they’re annoying like a real kid

I can really relate to kid cosmic. He reminds me of when I was 7 years old I started to suppress a lot of trauma and it came out in emotional bursts of anger and sadness. I didn't know what was going on with me and people thought I was acting too annoying and sensitive (even my own parents) I decided to put on a happy face for them and that had huge consequences later when I got my first panic attack 6 months ago and all my suppressed trauma came bubbling back up. I'm doing much better now and making big steps to fully healing and finding myself when I never got to as a kid (I'm 13 now) I moved to a new town and am starting school. I hope you have a great day/evening and know that you are more than anxiety/depression. This channel called the anxiety guy is a really great resource 🥰🤗

Kid Cosmic is a fun show!

Kid is an underrated hero child who learns lessons through the hard way

This show is very underrated, one of the best cartoons I've watched in a while. It's so charming and fun :]

You would love Hakase from Nichijou. She other than inexplicably being a super-genius she acts like a realistic 8-year-old.

The fact that Kid is humbled and develops with each episode works really well. While there are a decent amount of kids in media who do strive to be good, whether it be from highly valuing kindness or feeling pressure from loved ones to be the good kid, it’s nice to see media that portrays kids realistically learning to develop and mature. Kid is naive, doesn’t understand how to manage his emotions, is impatient and brash, and doesn’t have the foresight to see how his actions will impact others. But what helps the audience want to see him grow and follow his story is that he means well and does his best to help others. That’s part of why he wants to be a hero, and Papa G taught him to care for others. He’s not completely selfish and uncaring, and he just needs some guidance. A bit of a spoiler, but there’s a scene in season 2 where he ends up trashing the diner when Jo chooses Krosh over him and everyone else. He realizes his mistake and comes back to clean the diner. Season 1 Episode 1 Kid was oblivious to the mess he made, and it was a nice touch to see him reflect and apologize. Another great spoiler scene would the scene where he sees the fake version of his parents in the dream Earth the team got trapped in. He has grown enough to realize that it’s just a fantasy, and that it’s better to be with his real friends and family. Overall, a great show with great characters!

Kid cosmic is honestly one of my favorite shows of all time, and I am constantly impressed at how it takes this annoying, stubborn, selfish little kid and makes him one of my favorite characters of all time. And it's all because he's so frustratingly _a kid_ ! It's so,, _refreshing_ and I love it so much!

Kid Cosmic has one of the best protagonist teams/groups I've ever seen. I love every single character in this show, the artstyle is legendary and lovable.

I see the thumbnail I instantly think of Jet Set Radio I click in curiosity. 👀

As I commented in other videos, one of the best things about this show is how they managed to pack several story elements into a single season with solid pacing. Most other shows probably would've taken two seasons to flesh them out. I think this might be one of the reasons Kid worked well as a character, because you understood his strengths and flaws in a short amount of time, while also seeing him overcome his insecurities in a believable way. Plus, his voice actor did a great job nailing his personality and emotions.

I’ve been wanting to watch it forever, so I finally binged it last week, and omfg it was so good! Literally made me so happy to watch

I just discovered this show, and I love it, no "messages" from certain rotten ideologies, just a show to enjoy with good characters ...

Here after season two. Kid has become the most cutie little piece of life now, such a growth

I love how your intro just has you falling to your death

Nearing 50 now and I still get all hyped up over cartoons and comics :)

7:17 damn, the first time round I literally didn't even realise his parents were dead, I thought that Stuck Chuck was suggesting he killed Papa G or something to give himself a heroic backstory and get revenge I was very confused lol

People tend to hate on kid characters more because they think of them as “annoying” but I just find them perfect and realistic. People tend to hate on characters such as Bloo, Kid, hell, maybe even Caillou, because they’re ignorant, incompetent, selfish, arrogant, mean, etc. but children have less life experience and therefore aren’t really aware of how to act. They get hated on for being realistic compared to loved unrealistic characters such as Mac, Flapjack (idk, kind of?), and maybe even Jo. Bloo is only 5 years old, he can’t help that. He’s only a kid and doesn’t really know yet. He deserves more love and attention for how accurate and loveable he can be. Same with Kid, not with Caillou. Caillou may bactually be a jerk. Kids shows nowadays are unnacurately portraying children characters, and everyone loves the unrealistic characters and hates on the realistic kid characters. I think we should learn to love and appreciate some of the more realistic characters. However, I’m not saying all young characters are mean and selfish, that’s what I like about Mac, Flapjack, maybe even Max (Camp Camp). Their nice yet can be selfish and arrogant and portray the more nice and well behaved children while other characters like Bloo and Kid portray the less behaved children. What I like about Kid and Max is that the change throughout the series and become more knowing of their errors, become less selfish/arrogant/mean. We have to love the accurate kid characters.

i found it about this from vail and i watched all 2 seasons this is so good 100/10 i would recommend this 1000% you will not regret a millisecond of the show

"All aliens are treated differently." By that, do you mean that there are alien characters that are not bad and out to be antagonistic? Ones that are actually fine with humans and even willing to fight alongside them against evil? Because if ALL of them are still badguys, then that's a deal-breaker for me. Also, you said that the kid who could manipulate size had the red stone when she has the blue one.

This show is actually surprisingly good. I’m 13 and I watch a lot of cartoons but I have to say this is one of my favorites. I love the style and the desert theme of it reminds me of where I live. I love the characters and it’s so underrated

Agree on everything. Absolutely love that show. Definitely up there with my favourites

Oh god I really love this video Kid was probably the most annoying character in the series, and thats why he become my favorite He is just a real human kid Hope we can see him growing like a better hero and person in a future

Never watch this animation,but it looks amazing

I really enjoyed watching Kid Cosmic, its not very popular and should be more well known.

I have only recently discovered the show even though it is already over. I finished the entire first season already, and I CANT GET ENOUGH OF THE UNDERRATED GOLD!!!

Ep 6 was insane I can't believe the show showed how the rings could actually be used following the mechanics we currently know (Using all 5 rings at the same time) (Green ring + Blue ring + yellow ring + purple ring)

The show hinted that something happened in the past episode 1 Jo is looking at Kid’s cork board and she finds the newspaper Article just before Kid distracts her with the rings

*BRO I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!! IT'S TERRIBLY UNDERRATED! I CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 3!*

I think the name Kid Cosmic is a pun, because of the comic aesthetic the show has. (PS: I want to see more seasons of this show, BADLY)

I've noticed that kid cosmic is always just called "kid" or "kid cosmic" I've always wondered what his real name is/was?

Kid cosmic really does feel like a kid and not in a bad way

There will be a day where that tree branch doesnt break

Finally, someone acknowledges this show. It's awesome

I know shows now are always wholesome and the main character always wins with a life lesson learned so much so that's its become predictable it's hard for me to enjoy a show I can already guess what's going to happen.

i watched the first 2 minutes, got intrigued and decided to marathon the show and when i finished i would come back to this video, i absolutely loved this show, thank you for making this video.

My favourite thing about Kid is how realistic he is. It feels like the producers picked up some random kid that likes comics off the street, had him read the script, and recorded his reactions

This show is a bomb really want season two maybe I shouldn't have watched everything in 2days

I love the art style so much. It's like those old school comics

Kid Cosmic is Awesome One of the Best Netflix Cartoons and its highly underrated

Kid cosmic was the best netflix show i have ever watch. Good job craig.

Kid Cosmic does something I love. It shows people how shit a superpower flight is.

Yep yep i agree with title!

my zoology teacher recommended me the seires and kid has been a fun protagonist to watch

TYSM ALPHA, THIS IS LITERALLY MT FAVORITE SHOW RIGHT NOW!

Your analysis of the kid is exactly why I love him and the show so much.

Alot of things try to reignite nostalgia nowadays, but Kid Cosmic makes me feel most like Im a dorky kid again Edit: Kinda wanna see a full Crash Nebula series, but maybe not with Hartman idk

Finally an idealistic kid with a wild imagination and a desire to good in a world that does not bend to his will and have enemies surrender to the power of friendship.

It would be cool if he grew up over the seasons like finn and matured

Bro I'm wait for season 2 it better come

He reminds me of Calvin from the old Bill Watterson comic “Calvin and Hobbes” the hair, attitude and everything else is just like him

Haven't watched it, but I have in my watch list so I might give it a watch soon.

THANK YOU for talking about this show, it's so good and i feel like no one really knows about it

The another childish arrogant character I loved from the show was Fentos, he is just a geek adult that lives with his mother and want a colection of powerful rocks, I can't help but to love him

did you just call rosa’s power...strength..?

I finished the show the day it came out and have been sad ever since bc I have to wait for the next season to come out 🥲

Thanks for the video it reminded me I still needed to watch this show and after finally seeing it I can say that this Is probably one of my favorite things Craig McCracken has made

Oh my gosh I loved this show when I watched it a few weeks back - Kid was a very engaging person to watch. Keep Up The Good Work~!

Finna binge this in the summer

this is the earliest ive ever been

This was such a good show! Netflix has really gathered together a decent amount of really good animation.

Yessss, I've been waiting for this one!

Season 2 has been announced along with being renewed for Season 3!
