Why aren’t the Elementals hurt by material weapons?

8

Spider-Man is throwing large objects (blocks of concrete, ...) at the Elemental.

Since the Elemental is a set of drones flying together why aren't they just destroyed when hit by it?

This would at least create a hole in the illusion, if not impede the ability of the Elemental to destroy things around him - uncovering the set-up.

Are the objects thrown at them shot by the drones before they get a chance to touch him? (I do not remember if at any point Spider-Man’s throws were actually successful to hit the Elemental).

Firstly, let’s consider how Peter and MJ realised the Elementals were fake. They’d found a projector that had been broken off of Molten-Man and had seen what it was doing. So at least some of the attacks damaged the drones. But why didn’t the others? Well we have a few possibilities.

  1. They did but the illusion tech just covered up for the fact with extra drones.

  2. The drones shot down whatever was coming at them and so it didn’t damage them.

  3. In London when Peter gets inside the illusion of Elemental Fusion we see that there is a lot of drones and a lot going on. However, we also see that there is a lot of empty space and so it is possible that a lot of the earlier attacks just missed.

  4. The drones can dodge the attacks that come at them, they do seem to be quite fast considering how quick one got from the satellite to the bus when Peter accidentally calls in the kill strike.

It is quite probable that the reason the attacks didn’t do too much damage is a combination of all three factors together with the drones most certainly defending themselves against in coming attacks.
