Does anyone else think the superhero market for movies is beyond saturated? I'm not saying they are bad movies, it just seems like Hollywood has run out of ideas. What do you think?

There are some 700 movies a year out of Hollywood and only a dozen or so are superhero movies.
I do wonder what percentage of movies are adapted from books, magazine articles, old television programs as well as comic book publishers finally getting more creative control over their own creations? Why doesn't Hollywood come up with fresh ideals? Perhaps Star Wars is the exception and reworking a Louie L'Amour or Jack Kirby story is the rule.

When did they ever? When did Hollywood not adapt literary works?

I would agree and they are all identical to each other, a bad guy or group of bad guys come along, for awhile it looks like the bad guys might have the upper hand and defeat the super heroes, but eventually they are defeated in dramatic fashion...this same tired old plots are getting boring.
They need to explore other storylines, maybe have the bad guys come out on top some of the time, that would be more realistic anyway.
I also think zombie movies and shows are getting old and boring, there are so many of them, and again, they are pretty much all the same types of plots and storylines too, nothing really new or innovative (The girl with all the gifts was an exception though), in this , the 'good guys'/ society, did not come out ahead in the end.

You folks don't get out enough. If you make a practice of going to a movie every weekend, you find out that most of them are not superhero or zombie movies.
Not really. Aside from big-budget action effects movies, there's more than enough variety of MPAA films released every year. And before superheroes, there was episodic fantasy saturation, action hero saturation, slasher movie saturation and etc. Hardly unprecedented.
It isn't a matter of saturation. It's a matter of quality. I would watch a super hero movie a week if they were awesome.
The problem is that only a couple have been really awesome. Some have been good. Some have been bad. Most are mediocre.
Marvel seems to have settled in to their mediocre formula.
DC seems to remain perpetually confused.
Disney is finally giving us INCREDIBLES II. There is hope.
