* ShotForShotRemake: An element that he feels actively harms the ''WebVideo/TheHeroOfTime'' fan film, especially since he notes that it's applied very inconsistently, being so devoted to getting it nearly beat for beat with the game it's based on to the point of taking up a lot of screentime, while simultaneously failing to flesh out the elements that Ocarina of Time overlooked in a compelling manner. Also zigzagged in that he notes that the unique elements are also weirdly utilized in a way that doesn't gel very well with the faithful parts, leading to a far less coherent film.

** He criticizes this as a serious flaw of the ''[[WebVideo/TheHeroOfTime]]'' FanFilm. He feels that the acting for Link is either being too overly dramatic when it isn't appropriate, or underselling his reactions to the point of coming off as bored or lacking any emotions.

* Infodump: Isn't too impressed with how the ''[[WebVideo/TheHeroOfTime]]'' film does this in regards to its exposition, feeling that it relies too heavily on people having prior knowledge of the Zelda series to be understandable, while being much harder to get into if you're completely unfamiliar with the terminology of the franchise.

Though he didn't upload a proper review in a few years for the series, Neige official ended the series in mid-2019, announcing he was just going to focus on his music parodies, although he hasn't made any significant updates on YouTube for over a year. He's also created the theme song for WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall's Late Night Double Feature section.

His Website/YouTube page, containing mirror uploads of many of his older reviews, as well as a few Vlog videos, can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/user/DJilneige here]]. He was added as a producer to Website/ChannelAwesome during their talent search in 2014, then left the site in April 2018. He has ''also'' set up his own [[https://vid.me/IlNeige Vidme account]].

''What We Had to Watch'' is a video review series written by and starring Garrett Snook, aka Il Neige (formerly DJ Il Neige), who reviews [[SoOkayItsAverage mediocre]] movies of the last 10-20 years, generally movies kids of the 00’s would have grown up with, as opposed to the Internet’s usual fixation on nostalgic 80’s and 90’s media. [[FollowTheLeader Citing influences]] from various current and former contributors of Website/ChannelAwesome, Il Neige takes them down with a good sense of humor and dry commentary along the way. You can also watch his work on Website/{{Geekvision}} and Website/TheAgonyBooth.

* WeaponOfChoice: His nunchucks.

** In 2013, Neige made an announcement video after his ''Pokemon Movie 3'' review talking about plans he had for "Season 2," naming several movies he had in the works to do reviews on (including the third ''Twilight'' film, ''Dragonball Evolution,'' and ''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets''). He then cancelled these plans at some point after due to how his real life schedule had overtaken his ability and want to write, shoot, and edit said reviews due to having graduated college and got a job in video editing, as well as his real life musical career still being a thing. He subsequently did his ''Pokemonth'' reviews and reviews of the first ''Spongebob'' movie that was teased a few times in previous reviews, ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'' (the original theatrical release), and a defense video of ''Dragonball Evolution'' (one of the movies he promised to review as part of "season 2" years prior) before hanging it all up in 2019 to focus primarily on his song parodies. Although, he also promised to do a video on the later editions of ''Advent Children'' that never came to fruition for some reason.

** His joining of Channel Awesome in 2015 seemed to signal he'd be doing more regular reviews again, but he didn't produce a lot of them afterwards. And after the [=#ChangeTheChannel=] controversy in 2018 cause him and many other reviewers on the sight to leave, this didn't come to fruition.

* GoshDangItToHeck: Minus some minor examples, Neige tends to not use swear words much. Even censoring himself, like in his ''Yugioh: The Movie'' review where he says, "Then this kid (Yugi) came around ad effed it all up."

You can also watch his work on Website/{{Geekvision}} and Website/TheAgonyBooth.

** EasilyForgiven: In regard to Jim forgiving Silver in ''WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet'' despite the latter betraying him, Il Neige himself took issue with how happy this ending came off in comparison to the more BittersweetEnding in the [[Literature/TreasureIsland source material]] and other adaptations, like Film/MuppetTreasureIsland.

* AscendedFanboy: Recently became a part of the Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses family.

** He has a recurring guest role on ''WebVideo/SomeJerkWithACamera'', alongside [[WebVideo/TheIdiotsLantern The Wire]] and [[WebVideo/RBGProductions Spazzmaster]]

Relevant tropes:

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: During the ''Film/MonsterHouse'' review.

* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: [[Creator/RBGProductions Spazz]] says this when he's about to beat the [[WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown British]] out of Il Neige. His answer [[{{Catchphrase}} Oh come on]]!

* BerserkButton: Characters that he deems as loud, obnoxious and overall [[TheLoad useless]] characters that function solely as lame comic relief, especially Goon from ''WesternAnimation/TitanAE'', Mole from ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'', Snails from ''Film/DungeonsAndDragons'', Louis from ''Film/KangarooJack'', and BEN from ''WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet''.

* DullSurprise: In his own review of the ''Film/DungeonsAndDragons'' movie, he points out that even the bad acting from high guardswoman with the "armor nipples of doom" can't top Creator/ThoraBirch as the Empress.

** Another in his ''Film/DungeonsAndDragons'' review of not even bothering to get TheDragon's name correct, from calling him Didgeridoo, Daisy Dukes and ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution''.

* {{Adorkable}}: Oh ''yes''.

* BerserkButton: Characters that he deems as loud, obnoxious and overall [[TheLoad useless]] characters that function solely as lame comic relief, especially Goon from ''WesternAnimation/TitanAE'', Mole from ''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'', Snails from ''Film/DungeonsAndDragons'', Louis from ''Film/KangarooJack'', and BEN from ''Disney/TreasurePlanet''.

* MauveShirt: Points out how this wasn't handled well in ''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' in the scene when the other characters just sum up their life stories immediately after the big action scene without giving the audience a chance to attach themselves to the characters first.

* NostalgiaFilter: Somewhat subverted in the Disney/TreasurePlanet review - the things he liked as a kid, he started to take issue with as an adult, and vice versa.
* ObviouslyEvil: Literally points this out with Commander Rourke in Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire.

** EasilyForgiven: In regard to Jim forgiving Silver in ''Disney/TreasurePlanet'' despite the latter betraying him, Il Neige himself took issue with how happy this ending came off in comparison to the more BittersweetEnding in the [[Literature/TreasureIsland source material]] and other adaptations, like Film/MuppetTreasureIsland.

** He also makes a cameo in WebVideo/TheUnusualSuspect's reviews of ''Film/TheTwoTowers'', ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', and ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''.
