what would be cool is if airbending could be used to the extent of creating vacuums... in a sense this is kind of like blood bending. Like when sucking water through a straw, removing the air in the location creates a vacuum of nothingness that other substances attempt to fill (which is why water goes up the straw), so hypothetically if you could create a defined vacuum shape you would have some power over other elements or people, though gravity is a stronger force... in any case, waterbending and firebending are useless against air if you can use vacuums, because water you'd control and fire you'd extinguish, so earthbending SHOULD be the only real threat of air bending. Except for lightning, for this would screw things up
