The first few arcs of Super are bad retellings of the 2 recent Dragonball movies, Battle of Gods and Ressurection F. It gets better after it starts telling original stories, but I'd say the current universe survival arc is the first truly good arc the series has had.

Dragonball's biggest problem is that it had naturally moved beyond the Goku/Vegeta rivalry during the Cell games when Gohan surpassed them both and Goku chose to stay dead. That rivalry should have gone the same way as the Goku/Piccolo and Goku/Tien rivalries after that, but they decided to continue the rivalry instead, and that both caused other characters, like Gohan and Piccolo, to be thrown under the bus while undoing most of the development Goku and Vegeta had. Vegeta has really started to develop recently, but Goku has never had much growth since his introduction as a child, and what little growth he had was thrown out the window when he came back to life.
