Lou1 didn’t capture faces they were fully made up and lou2 Ellie doesn’t look. 19-year-old Ellie looks more like Ashley Johnson then she does the made-up face in the first game. Lastly, while insects do gain some level of aggression when infected, they normally do not attack other insects. Show the video of Ellie as a kid and then Ashley's face and then they took 50 of Ellie's face and 50 of Ashley's face, and that's where we get 19-year-old Ellie. All 600 species of Cordyceps which seize control of insect bodies do so to force the host into a humid place where the fungus can feed on the body and spread its spores, so if an evolved cordyceps infected a human and over the course of many days transformed the body into a shambling host, the fungus' end goal would be much the same. Even if it did, fungal infections are slow, taking a matter of weeks, and nothing like the near-instant transformation depicted new filaments take some time and energy to produce. Human brains contain hundreds of thousands of times more neurons compared to an ant brain, and it would be an extraordinarily rapid evolution for cordyceps to gain the ability to infect and take over one. Overall, the probability of a fungus of this type evolving the need and capability to infect humans is astronomically small. As with the game, the series' depiction of the cordyceps fungus has some inaccuracies.
