there's a few aud dramas that I quite like but their sound effects are either a bit lacking, (I remember a particular chase scene in one where they were exchanging gunfire but it just sounded a bit anemic), or they lack sounds for particular actions, (another scene in another aud involved superhero-landing down an elevator shaft but with no sound of landing or jumping)

Literature

Conan the Barbarian does this from time to time since he'd rather hit the ground a bit harder than be disarmed.
Lara and her sisters from The Dresden Files does this on one occasion in Turn Coat, from a helicopter and without descent lines. It was flying above treetops before it reach the drop zone.
Magic 2.0: In Scott Meyer's Spell or High Water, Martin has been practicing his "Iron Man landing" to have an effect on his opponents. His version also has him keeping the hand with the Magic Staff stretched out behind him with the staff parallel to the ground. Unfortunately for him, very few people get to witness the landing. When chasing down an attempted assassin, he lands thus on a tower from where the assassin supposedly fired the arrow, only for the tower to be already empty.
In Warhammer 40,000 novel Seventh Retribution, scout Orfos lands this way in front of a group of Imperial Assassins after jumping out of Thunderhawk. Assassins being who they are, no-one particularly cares and Orfos doesn't dwell on it before jumping into the fray.
Kaladin is striking this pose on the cover of Words of Radiance, and does the same in the story when he flies in to save Dalinar from Szeth

Web Animation

In the Happy Tree Friends episode "Flippin' Burgers", Flippy does this after his burger joint massacre.
Red vs. Blue Freelancers often like this landing. Tex gets an album cover for the Revelation season's soundtrack from one, complete with explosions in the background.
RWBY:
Done by Ruby in episode 5 of season 1, complete with head snapping up showing her determined face. Pyrhha later does it in an almost picture-perfect copy maneuver shared with Red vs. Blue's Carolina; another red-haired, green-eyed action girl voiced by Jen Brown.
Done in the open for Season 2, where the Huntsmen/Huntresses are seen plunging from Absurd Altitude into the City of Vale and sticking their Ground-Shattering Landing.
Come Volume 7, and Ironwood also gets in on the act. After luring Watts into the arena of the incomplete Amity Communications Tower by claiming that it's complete and that security assigned to defending it are being diverted to help Mantle, then locking both of them inside, Ironwood leaps from the commentator's box into the arena in this pose to confront Watts.
Toon Sandwich: In "Super-Showdown-Bowl!", instead of using the Tractor Beam, Oscar just jumps down from the sphere and naturally does a typical superhero landing since he's copying the powers of a whole bunch of movie superheroes.
Weebl & Bob: Stephen Fry jumps down the loft.

Western Animation

Avatar: The Last Airbender:
Aang sometimes lands this way.
Korra gets in on this as well and combines it with a Ground-Shattering Landing.
Blaze and the Monster Machines: In the "Robot Riders" miniseries of Season 4, Blaze and his friends do this whenever they land after falling or jumping off a high place in robot form.
Code Lyoko:
Yumi can end up in this pose after some acrobatics, or when just virtualized (which always leave her a few meters above ground).
The others sometimes do it but it's rarer for them; Ulrich usually does it after he attacks a monster in mid-air.
The first part of the DuckTales short "The World's Longest Deathtrap" plays with this trope. Dewey falls from a great height and lands like this perfectly... then collapses and complains about how inefficient this technique is.
True to the comic, film, and video game examples, Iron Man pulls this off fairly often in Iron Man: Armored Adventures, too.
In the Metalocalypse episode "The Revengencers", when the band manager Charles is thrown out of a third story window, he lands in a perfect three-point landing.
Ladybug almost always lands like this in Miraculous Ladybug, as does Cat Noir. Not surprising since a lot of the former's moves are inspired by Spider-Man.
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
Spitfire does a three-point landing early in the episode "Newbie Dash". Of course, she has four legs to begin with, so she actually has to raise one of her forelegs.
Ember, the new Dragon Lord, eventually treats us to two superhero landings in episode "Triple Threat".
At the beginning of "Uprooted", after some acrobatics with Rainbow Dash, Silverstream makes a typical superhero landing, even cracking the ground. That's in a Dream Sequence, though.
Phineas and Ferb: Perry the Platypus is quite fond of this pose.Doofenshmirtz: Oh, hey, nice landing pose. See, that would kill my knees.
Shimmer and Shine: In "Dragon Tales", Zeta's flashback of how she and Nazboo first met features her performing this landing upon arriving at Mantikar. It turns out to be just one of the lies she made up to inflate her ego. She crash-landed there.
Spider-Man:
Ultimate Spider-Man is utterly in love with these. Every opportunity for any character to land this way is gleefully taken.
In Marvel's Spider-Man, it's not an Iron Man guest appearance without a few uses of the Iron Man pose! Interestingly, in one scene Spider-Man does it when Iron Man doesn't, though later we get a scene that's practically an animated recreation of his Big Entrance at the beginning of Iron Man 2, landing in his iconic pose, then standing and raising his arms. Later, when the villain has hijacked all electronics, it's an unarmored Tony who leaped out of his hijacked suit and touched down in the pose (palm out instead of a fist this time).
Two memorable examples occur in seasons 1 and 5 of Steven Universe:
In "Serious Steven", the Crystal Gems fall out through a ceiling at the end of a tunnel, all landing gracefully except for Steven, who falls flat on his face.
In "Change Your Mind", a similar situation occurs with the shot completely recreated, but with Steven sticking the landing to show his Character Development.
Storm Hawks:
Aerrow does one in the opening when he lands in front of his team.
In "Tranquility Now", after crashing through the window, Aerrow jumps off his bike and lands in this pose in front of his team.
Robin pulls this off in the opening theme for Teen Titans (2003).
Toad does this during the theme song of X-Men: Evolution.

Part of the challenge a foley artist faces is performing the sounds as they happen on screen. Everything has to happen in perfect coordination with the images of the film. Otherwise, the effect falls apart.

There is probably no superhero comic better known for the lettering of its sound effects than Walter Simonson's 1983-1987 run on Marvel's Thor. John Workman's lettering on that seminal, still-beloved run was so integral that it's difficult to imagine those comics without it. Workman's big, bold DOOMs, THOOMs and KRAKATHOOMs hit readers' eyes and imaginations like graphic hammer blows. Simonson's art alone could tell powerful, affecting stories, but Workman's lettering really made those Thor comics sing... and scream and thunder and crash and splinter.

How fitting then that the most recent Thor comic, featuring a brand new star character wielding Mjolnir to protect Midgard, should also have such a highly distinct sound effect style, and yet have those sound effects stand out in a completely different way than those of the Simonson/Workman Thor comics of yore.

The series was lettered by Joe Sabino, although Dauterman handles many of the sound effects himself. The first of them appears on the third page of the first issue, a rather simple "THOOM," the sound of a frost giant's huge hand slapping against a cliff.

The style of the sound effects is consistent throughout the run, but Dauterman and company are endlessly inventive with how they are integrated. Background noises, like those in the distance, will appear in the background, eclipsed by elements in the foreground; particularly loud or violent noises will fill a panel, the jagged letters leaping up at the reader.

Later still, SHIELD Agent Roz Solomon is in a gunfight, and while the guns all make the expected sounds --- BLAM BLAM BLAM --- note how the sound is drawn as muzzle flares; the sound effects don't obscure or cover up Dauterman's art; they are Dauterman's art.

N,ot every sound-effect in the series is so showy. That same page, for example, has Roz leaping through a glass window, and I didn't even notice until I started writing this that Dauterman had drawn huge shards of glass coalescing into a CRASH behind her.

No story, not even a Thor story, can be all DOOMs (the sound of The Destroyer's foot-falls) and KAROOOOMs (the sound of lightning leveling a giant). The smallest, sharpest noises count just as much when composing such a superhero symphony:

Lettering aside, there's actually quite a lot to recommend Aaron and Dauterman's Thor, which is ultimately true to the spirit of the concept and character, while simultaneously its own thing. Kinda like its sound effects.
