Just between Tornadus and Thundurus they were pretty nice, but the execution of Landorus as the trio master just kind of fucked it all up.
He should have been the one to look markedly different than the other two, considering even his learnset was different; and maybe they could have waited for another generation to introduce and reveal him like they did with Lugia and Regigigas, perhaps even using the shrine to tease him like the Strange Souvenir. Though it probably would have been overshadowed by the Original Dragon speculation running in parallel I suppose.
The Therian formes could have had an interesting explanation as to why they shifted from beasts to humanoids as well, but instead we got a hand-wavey "they looked like that when they were going crazy, but l now they look like this and nobody knows or cares why."
