aight so! PMD-inspired Tao Trio thoughts!
mainline Reshiram and Zekrom...their whole deal is that they're trying to create a better world, yeah?
They fight alongside those who embody their respective idioms to change the world's path and create a better future. However, there's one thing both are missing: foresight. They act recklessly, either of them gladly throwing in their lot with Team Plasma purely on the strength of N's convictions. In the past their conflict destroyed the kingdom that they and their partners worked so hard to built. They fight without thinking of the long-term consequences of their fighting.
PMD Kyurem, on the other hand, has foresight in spades--it sees the future. But it lacks its siblings' drive to change things and create a better future, and even though it means the destruction of its world:
Three parts of a whole, all looking to the future--one who fights for ideals without regard for consequences or the true nature of the world, one who fights for truth at the expense of foresight and ideals, and one who has knowledge of the future, but no dreams of a better world or knowledge that not every truth is a bitter one.
It almost makes PMD Kyurem a better counterpart to mainline Reshiram and Zekrom than mainline Kyurem is, frankly.
