The Tyrion being a Targearyan theory comes from a few things other than fans wanting it because he is a badass:
1) there is a prophecy that a 3 headed dragon will free Westeros and restore order. The 3 heard dragon could be referring to either 3 Dragon's or 3 Targearyans since they are linked to Dragon's. We now know who two are and the third has yet to be revealed.
2) Tywins last words to Tyrion were that he isn't his father. There is a theory that Tyrions son was either raped or seduced by Aerys Targearyan. This not only caused the birth of Tyrion, but what got Tywin to go to war against the Targearyans.this would also make Tyrion and Denearys siblings.
3) Tyrion wasn't eaten alive and killed by the two Dragon's. They showed some restraint against him.
4) The three siblings have their mothers dying at birth common and all three have indirectly or directly led to the death of their loved one. Jon had to fight the wildlings and his love was killed under his command. Tyrion had to kill his love for betraying him. Deanery's had to kill Drago. |
I believe GRRM has said the 5 main characters of the overall story are
Dany, Tyrion, and 3 of the Stark children -- Arya, Jon, and Bran.
Interesting that Tyrion doesn't really seem to have any special destiny or "powers" as it were, so maybe the above theory is true, though it would start to get into the whole "it's a small world after all" type of thing.
