Seeing it in motion is worse. The GIF captures Luigi turning his head slowly toward the viewer (or his racing rival) with that dead-eyed glare that became a viral sensation in 2014. The animation adds something the still cannot convey: the deliberateness of the look. This is not a glance. This is a decision. For the still image, see Luigi Death Stare.","format":"classic","howToMake":["Luigi is turning to glare at you on repeat.

The kart, the track, other racers, all blur into irrelevance as his eyes find their target. The animation captures the full rotation: forward-facing, the slight turn, then the lock-on. The loop means he never stops looking. He never breaks eye contact. The race continues around him but Luigi's priorities have clearly shifted.","definition":"The animated GIF of Luigi's death stare from Mario Kart 8, showing his head turning slowly toward the viewer with an expression of silent menace.
