That is precisely what happened actually. At first it was just meant to be a mini series. A single season with 12 episodes. Nick ordered season 2 at the last second and that's why that season sucked so much dick. Even if it did have some good to it. The Wan stuff was great. I liked getting more of Tenzin and his siblings. It also gave us the twins and Varrick.Also, I did hear that supposedly Nickelodeon only gave Bryke one season contracts at a time, hence why the show was more traditional season based, instead of one cohesive story like ATLA, which definitely affected the quality of the show's story and character development imo.
Season 3 onward they were better prepared for it which is why the writing was so much better.
Season 4 they actually wanted to give Kuvira and Korasami more development but Nick slashed their budget and an episode or so had to be cut in favor of the clip show. It was either that or fire people, and had they fired people they wouldn't have been able to finish the show.
