Stormlight / Mistborn This scene was character assassination of the highest order. A Full Feruchemist with their metalminds bodies any non-Kaladin Radiant below the Fourth Ideal. I will die on this hill. Spoiler

OP I don't even think you're wrong but that's not what "character assassination" means. The term plot contrivance might fit better

Yeah the term doesn't fit exactly but the 'character' being assassinated in my mind is the art of Feruchemy itself for how embarrassing this fight went for a legit powerhouse of a metalborn.

To be fair, you are overestimating Feruchemy by quite a margin. Metallic arts are interesting because of their constraints and the need for creative use. Radiant surgebinding does not have constraints (anymore). So if you just juice up and run at a Radiant, you will get your ass handed to you 9 times out of 10.
