Good point! That's definitely treated as not acceptable, at least beyond criticisms of the first season.
Season one had some problems trying to find its place, but that's also pretty common for a lot of shows. Season three had serious pacing issues due to the writers' strike. I'd be interested in seeing what season 2 criticism is like.
Season 2 has slow episodes. For instance, 2-5 are not great, IMO.
But there's more fundamental "it's not totally the show's fault" criticism too, like the awful video quality/artifacts (even on the blu-rays), and the general maturity level and jokes. And TBH Zuko/Iroh kinda carried the show for me until Toph shows up, I didn't feel connected to the early gang like I instantly did to Zuko and Korra.
