Pisceswaterbender, I really like your take on it so thumbs up :) You're absolutely right that it's only fair that each bending style needs some form of weakness, but I don't think the 'enclosed spaces' thing counts. Okay, if the airbender were to be submerged underground or underwater, then there is no chance of bending but shouldn't that be said in the Firebending page too? Separate Firebenders from the air and (besides dying) their bending art will be useless. I think the show creators refrained from giving airbending a sub-skill for this reason - they needed to give it a real weakness. Otherwise, there isn't one for airbending. Even though I've always thought being able to fly makes up for that haha!
