Maybe it's just me not having seen DBZ in near 20 years, but Super is a lot goofier and light-hearted than what I remember Dragonball to be. Maybe I'm remembering things incorrectly but considering that the current story they're airing on Cartoon Network deals with a deity with enough power to sneeze and 10 planets disappear, it all just feels meaningless. It feels so light that nothing feels like a threat, like there's no drama.
I suppose this is what happens when the show kept escalating from King Piccolo to Frieza, to Cell, and then to Buu (which I couldn't keep track of and fell off at) and then all these tiers with being a Super Saiyan... It just feels superfluous, almost. Maybe that's what the "Super" in Dragonball Super stands for.
