Not enough to put a number on. The shape below is drawn from what there is, with the widest uncertainty band we use — it is the start of an answer, not one.

Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

  • “That was the scene that solidified Korra as not only being my favorite character in either show, but solidified my preference for LoK of ATLA (though both are obviously great). You just expected, after the triumphant moment at the end of episode 4, that Korra’s going to come out more mature but ready to kick ass. And then, this happened. I always tear up a little watching it, especially seeing the defeated look on her face afterwards. She realizes that it wasn’t just the physical damage that was done to her; the mental and emotional scars cut just as deep, if not deeper.”

  • “The fact that Korra doesn't magically get better after getting all the poison out. *chef's kiss* It would have been so easy to go that route but I will forever be grateful that they took the time to show recovery is not an easy process and that it effects you physically and mentally.”

  • “I know people that complain that Korra's recovery arc was "dragged out."”

  • “We are just about halfway through the season and this is one of my biggest issues. It's not that giving more time to secondary characters like Jinora, Ikki, Varrick, and Zhu Li is necessarily bad (okay, giving more time to Meelo *is* bad), but what has happened to our core characters? Why weren't they given more of a role so far?”
