My views are:

tradition."

Yes agreed.
But we will have to know the truth about that person before be can conclude anything about it.
And HPB also said quite important, that the one coming would be - far better fitted - than herself.

HPB said about the Avatar in The Screet Doctrine:
"This, he has made in his own image. In order to progress upwards and homewards, the "God" has now to ascend the weary uphill path of the Golgotha of Life. It is the martyrdom of self-conscious existence. Like Visvakarman he has to sacrifice himself to himself in order to redeem all creatures, to resurrect from the many into the One Life. Then he ascends into heaven indeed; where, plunged into the incomprehensible absolute Being and Bliss of Paranirvana, he reigns unconditionally, and whence he will re-descend again at the next "coming," which one portion of humanity expects in its dead-letter sense as the second advent, and the other as the last "Kalki Avatar.""

incident. At other times he visit people in a female version looking
the same as in the video. Sometimes he changes his look, so that
people are seeing a blue-skinned person, who looks like Krishna.

In India there had been in every century some people who were advanced
spiritually. Perhaps such spiritually advanced people always exist in
other parts of the world also. In Bible such men are called as prophets. 
These spiritually advanced people are I think tread different paths
for spiritual development. So their methods of spiritual development
are different. Some promote path of devotion, some promote meditation,
some create their unique path or method and promote it. Even if some
of them are genuine, the word Avatar is used by Besant and Leadbeater
to refer teaching given by Bodhisattva himself or through some disciple. 
When I read HPB's prophesy about Torch Bearer, I feel that she was not
referring Avatar. I think she was referring to somebody in
Theosophical tradition who would continue her work. World-Teacher word
was used to refer Avatar. I think HPB was not referring Avatar, she
was just referring a person who would continue work in Theosophical
tradition.
