      It’s quite patronising. JCVD shouldn’t be a mystery for someone working in the entertainment business. The Expendables came out in her late teens. Clark Gabel is before my time or Marlin Brando, George Orwell(though he voiced unicron and that’s totally my demo), and I know who they are.

      @@fearless4him595 Wow, that is actually a really tough question to answer, especially since I don't know how far you've read.
      It's been a while so I don't remember everything but basically, they did manage to make the invasion public, and somehow got an alliance with the Andalites. Earth almost got overrun by the Yeerks, in the end, with the help of a good Yeerk, they found a rebel cell inside of the Yeerks army that didn't want to fight. We learnt that even though they did evil things, their story is actually quite tragic as they were a sentient and advanced race but trapped inside their bodies (as you can't do much as a slug). The only thing they could was take control of others and in their homeplanet they only had a really basic monkey like species that they used to enslave. However, things changed when the Andalites came to their planet and that one dude gave them space travel because he took pity on them, that allowed them to spread throughout the galaxy and as they met (and enslaved) new species, that became their norm. However, since they have DNA memory, many still remembered that all they wanted was to be free. SO, after a huge battle on earth, in which our group had to kill about 50000 yeerks in one ship (basically a war crime) and Rachel sacrificed her life, Jake (who did order the destruction of those yeerks) managed to reach an agreement with the good Yeerks, since all they wanted was freedom of their aweful limited bodies, they shared the shapeshifting technology with them and every Yeerk could choose a body to live in forever. Many chose dolphins since Yeerks love water by nature and that was basically it. I thought it was a wonderful ending, it closed the story pretty good and the solution to this insane scale was great. Also, In the final book Jake starts the book by saying his full name finally and admitting that they were a group of 13 (!!!) years old kids. That was honestly a shock for me, since those kids went through stuff, horrible stuff and it gave it another dimension.
      They do finish with a cliff hanger that Ax gone missing and Jake goes to find him.
      That is a real cliffnote of the final beats of the story, as I mentioned, there are like 50 books.
