Cartoonists would exaggerate a person's response when they're, for example, hit by a mallet, or kicked hard. This is especially true in anime. In the real world, a person isn't bent in half from a kick, they're lightly dented; but, to emphasize the power of the kick, they'll bend the person in half. Why can't this same thing occur in movies with real actors? Perhaps they thought this bend would better convey the motion of flying, rather than a bunch of people just hanging in the air. If they were just hanging in the air, the average view would think something along the lines of "wow, that's a bad green-screen effect" or "huh... they're not moving, they're just going straight up..." vs "they're being carried to safety by Ironman! and they're having to cross distance to do it!"

Humans aren't very good at falling, getting thrown into walls, being knocked out with a blow to the head and so on.
