For months now theories about multiple and/or split Avatars have been going around. There are also a ton of misconceptions that go with it. I just wanted to point out why that isn't canon:

There can only be ONE avatar alive at once? Not two. Only ONE. Just the fact Korra is alive means (because she can be the only Avatar alive that) there is no other Avatar alive on the planet. For another Avatar to be born, Korra would have to die first. This is 100% canon fact. That's also how reincarnation works.

And when Aang was killed in the Avatar state, the cycle didn't go to Amon or anyone else. It stopped entirely. It ceased to exist until Aang was revived, and then the cycle was revived with him. There would have been no more Avatars if Aang wasn't revived. If an Avatar dies in the Avatar state, the cycle ends and there will be no more reincarnations of the Avatar. Again, the cycle only continued again because Aang was revived, and thus the cycle was revived along with him. And we know it went to Korra and no one else, because Korra is alive as the Avatar (and therefore the ONLY living Avatar) in LOK.

And people forget how hard it was for Aang to learn to earthbend. The reason why Korra hasn't been able to airbend, is because it is the element most opposite to her personality. It is common for most Avatars to go through this. She is NOT by any means an incomplete Avatar, as some have been misled to believe.

Disclaimer: The bold was not anger or anything like that. It was just to emphasize the most key points. So please don't overreact to this.
