Noire. This GIF shows just his face in close-up, cycling through micro-expressions of disbelief without the \"X Doubt\" button overlay. The lack of the UI element makes this a purer skepticism reaction, less meme-specific and more universally readable as \"I don't buy it.\" The subtle facial animation, courtesy of the game's motion capture technology, conveys more doubt per second than most live-action reaction GIFs. For the still version with the X Doubt prompt, see Press X To Doubt.","format":"classic","howToMake":["Phelps is already giving you the look.
