In response to

"Well 2 things..

1) The Avatar Cycle has never been broken before so it's possible Roku was wrong..

2) Even if the Avatar Cycle was slightly broken there for a moment why can't Aang still be reincarnated in that moment when Azula killed him? More so why can't he be reincarnated without his bending because his of the "cycle being broken?" But still retaining his reincarnation could be born with knowledge from other Avatars or even keeping his spiritual attachment to Aang."

Ok then. First, if even Roku, an Avatar himself, can be wrong about anything about Avatars, then cool, all facts, all setups in the show can be trashed right away because I don't know what else could be taken as truth. Whatever we say would make sense because any premises we know can be wrong or lie, even that "Only an Avatar can master all four elements" can be just jeered at. Don't you think this kind of dicussion is totaly meaning-less ?

Second, what does it mean by the Avatar cycle being broken? This is Roku's line without any modifications:

"If you are killed in the Avatar State, the reincarnation cycle will be broken and the Avatar will cease to exist."

It can be more clear what it means: 1) "'the reincarnation cycle will be broken", there won't be reincarnation happening 2) "'the Avatar will cease to exist," there won't be a new Avatar. So, no reincarnation, no new Avatar, period.
