'' “When we first starting talking to Nickelodeon about doing a new series in the ‘Avatar’ world, they asked if we could do shorter arcs—more like a show like ‘24’where there’s a specific villain or challenge for that particular season,” Konietzko says. “We’re really happy with that number. It allows us to focus much more closely on each episode and get a lot more craft into it.” '' - from http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2011/03/08/the-last-airbender-legend-of-korra-the-creators-speak/

So, yeah, Axioavatar, that was what I was referring to. (Perhaps the reason I could not find it later on this wiki was because it was removed due to not being an in-world matter....who knows?). I would like to say, however, that Bryke said that Nickolodean originally pushed them to write shorter arcs, and that the way Bryke ended the discussion ("We’re really happy with that number. It allows us to focus much more closely on each episode and get a lot more craft into it") would seem to indicate that they left the shortest of arcs when Nickelodeon asked them to write 14 episodes, which would seem to espouse the idea of a second "main" villain after the first short arc ended. It's not as conclusive of proof as I had thought, but the force of the evidence still seems to lie in favor of two "main" villians for Korra...at least, as far as I can tell.
