Where are the new stories?

After reading the book, Miss Peregrine's House for Peculiar Children, all I could think about was how I have heard this type of story before. After wondering about where I heard this story, I noticed that it seriously resembles the X-men storyline. They both include an outside mutant man that is introduced to many more mutants like him after years of struggling with the feeling of lonliness. Jacob and Wolverine both are shocked when introduced to the other mutants and both choose to live with the mutants instead of the outside world. The place where the mutants reside are both in desolate places, the X-men live in a big mansion in the middle of the woods and Miss Peregrine's house is in a time loop in a random European area. In both stories, the mutants are frowned upon and are labeled unwelcoming freaks that should be destroyed. The stories both include a group of people that want to annhilate their existence and it is up to the main character, Jacob and Wolverine, to save the mutant population. The amount of similarities are endless so I am not going to point every one out but it kind of worries me. Are we running out of ideas or stories for mass media? Books and movies have been around for the longest time and after all of these stories and adventures have been written, I think that the hardest job these days is for a writer to come up with a totally original plot. It is not like Ransom Riggs planned on having a story similar to X-men but it still happens. I feel that the amount of original ideas are shrinking and reptition amongst movies and books are becoming more and more noticeable. I do not know if I am necessarily worried that we are running out of new ideas or excited for the coming of the next big, new idea. Nonetheless, originality is more and more rare to find and awaiting the coming of a new genre is making me anxious.
