Tyrion did not turn into a pussy. he made various threats to the king through the season. His lack of being a badass in season 3 is a result of him being fucked over at the end of season 2. As vayrs pointed out to you early in season 3 tyrion lost all his influence and influence and power go hand in hand. Tyrion has not been in a position to make the bold moves he has previously. He appears to be working towards getting that influence back though.
I agree with you.
But the reason he might appear to be a "huge pussy" in S3 could be that he failed to further increase his level of badassery. We had gotten used to him gaining power, kind of surprising viewers that initially sold him short because of his status. This misconception, however, was caused by the fact that S3 stopped short of completing Book 3, therefore pushing one of Tyrion's defining moments back to S4. It just happened to end on an uninspiring lull for him.
If the real Tyrion, from all of Book 3, it taken as a whole, his baddassery progresses at the same pace as he had been from the beginning.
