SpoilerWhen you put it that way, it actually does sound like a lot.For a franchise, a movie per year is insane. The Harry Potter films were very punctual--one movie per year, but occasionally, they'd take an extra year. Still, that was considered extremely punctual and timely.Historically, James Bond films have usually taken at least two years to make--and since License to Kill, they've been tapering off even slower--now we're lucky to see another Bond film in less than three years.The Star Wars trilogy had long three year gaps between each film.On only one occasion has a Pirates of the Caribbean film had a one year gap between two films.X-Men movies also had two-to-three year gaps, but they've been ramping up in recent years for obvious reasons.Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films all had reasonable gaps between them--two years, then another three years.I can go on and on. For a film franchise to produce a new movie every six months on average, that's unprecedented--especially when you consider the budget and scope of each film. There's just so many, and they come so often. When you look at the schedule for upcoming MCU films, you'll see that there are three MCU films planned for 2017 and 2018. They've introduced so many characters to keep track of and to have their own little spin-offs.It shouldn't be a surprise to see that some people would be a little fatigued by this.

Also, you're not taking into account the fact that not every superhero movie made in the past decade has been an MCU film.2014 had four between Winter Soldier, X-Men: DoFP, Amazing Spider-Man 2, and Guardians of the Galaxy.2015 had three between Avengers 2, Ant-Man, and Fantastic Flop.2016, on the other hand, is going to have SIX, between Civil War, BvS, Shitpool, X-Men, Suicide Squad, and Dr. Strange.That's pretty fucking crazy.

Treat them like comics. Follow the ones you like forget that the others exist. You might miss a few in jokes, but everything crucial to Avengers #61 will be told within the film.
If the market is saturated, how come the value of the films continues to rise?It's econ 101.The capital value goes down when the market becomes saturated.They're only just now beginning to tap into the value of this market, and people's tolerance for it.
