I agree that knowing everything he's said about how debilitating his anxiety was on that show that he was never likely to show up and perform.

but i still find a few things confusing:

he could have come and just been part of the audience to support his friends who were there. but if that happened they never put the camera on him or anywhere close to him cause i was scanning the crowds.

he could have done some short recorded bits like Will Forte did, but that apparently didn't happen either.

The ONLY time he appeared in a sketch was the compilation of fake commercials and they showed the "Almost Pizza" one. And here's where it get very strange for me. his one line in that which they showed, i'm pretty positive was not his voice. Now there's no reason i can think of that SNL would purposely cut him out of everything, especially as like you said, he's been part of other anniversary content too so it doesn't look like a bad blood situation. So all signs for me are pointing to it was a choice from Bill. a choice not to be there, or take part in anyway, or to allow his content to be used beyond two 1 second shots of Stefon where he didn't talk. And that's a strange choice that i dont get, but there could be a million reasons and Bill's got his own life that i know nothing about so i expect i'll likely never know.

Do he and Lorne hate each other?

I don’t think so! Especially because he did interviews for some of the SNL50 docuseries that came out leading up to this (and they are fabulous, you should watch if you haven’t!)

He’s been pretty forthcoming about the horrible panic attacks he suffered while on SNL. My guess would be he didn’t want to put himself in that situation.

it's called money

They should invent a new kind of Being Alive where it's not painful and it doesn't hurt constantly and actually feels worth it and you're happy for more than a few hours at a time

PREACH

Questions I think to myself a lot when confronted with certain kinds of Online Posting:

Do you want a better world, or do you want revenge on those you think aren’t doing enough to improve it?

Do you want a more just world, or do you want to see bad people suffer merciless punishment?

Do you want a less oppressive world, or do you want the reins of power for yourself?

Do you want to do the right thing, or do you want to feel righteous?

Danny: “How do you kick somebody’s head off in zero gravity conditions? Start with the weapon-- use the inertia to spin around and-- then shove off the wall and bring it to him-- Even shattered, the stub of the whip-sword still looks nasty-- then take it-- and him-- out. And then...Stellar Astro-Fist. Um...Kick of the Geosynchronous Thunderbird. Something. Doesn’t matter. I made it up. What’s got two thumbs and didn’t boot in front of millions of people while inventing zero-g kung fu?” Defenders (2011) #1 by Matt Fraction, Terry Dodson, Rachel Dodson, Sonia Oback, and Clayton Cowles

In which Danny fends off assassins in low orbit.

For the record, this is not actually his first time fighting while weightless. All the way back in Marvel Premiere #22, he and one of his early antagonists were thrust into an abstract pocket dimension created by Master Khan, which had the fun feature of no gravity.

"The odds here are against you. For you were never trained to use your kung fu skills...where gravity does not exist! You float helplessly as the razor-sharp shuriken shrieks past your head. Each movement sends you drifting even more helplessly. Each succeeding shuriken passes even more closely to your person." Marvel Premiere #22 by Tony Isabella, Arvell Jones, George Roussos, Aubrey Bradford, and Karen Mantlo

Fortunately, Danny was trained to adapt quickly to new environments, even very odd ones, and just as he does in the above scene from Defenders, he manages to find his space legs in time to fight back.
