T’Challa raises a hand to stop an unnecessary bow. Use the reaction to politely reject a habit that does not belong in your group.
The raised palm is firm without being furious. It works for a local rule, a shared preference, or a gentle correction when someone brings the wrong custom into a setting.
The recognizable response can reject anything from spoilers to work messages during a break. State the unwanted behavior, then let T’Challa set the boundary.
The scene comes from Avengers: Infinity War, released in the US on April 27, 2018. James Rhodes tells Bruce Banner to bow when meeting T’Challa. T’Challa stops Banner and explains that the gesture is unnecessary. [1]
A GIF of the exchange appeared on Tumblr on the film’s release date. Captioned reaction versions followed on Tumblr in May and on Reddit in June 2018. [1]
This copy has no printed dialogue. Put the setup over Banner’s back on the right and the response along the bottom. Keep T’Challa’s face and raised hand unobstructed.
Choose a recognizable group habit or rule. The joke needs enough context to explain who is saying no and why.
