Personally I'm still all on the "alternate dimension" explanation.
Except Derplander in that cutscene will be substituted with our own WoL when we actually play, as is always the case. Derplander is just the generic story character used to represent the player.

The reason the WoDs look like Derplander and his party is because they are a dark reflection of ourselves. They couldn't have them literally be dark copies of our own characters though because that would cause all kinds of problems for voice acting and cutscenes. Instead they chose to give them a static appearance based on the characters that were already representative of us: Derplander and his party.

People really need to stop viewing Derplander as a canon character. He is us!
