Season 1 of Dragonball Z Super is _Battle of Gods_ and Season 2 is
_Resurrection F_ , the same names as 2 Dragonball Z Movies.. now if we assume
20 minutes air time each episode for both series (- OP and EDs and possible ad
breaks) this means

  * _Battle of Gods_

    * Series = `14 x 20 = 280` Minutes footage
    * Movie = [85-105 Minutes footage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Ball_Z:_Battle_of_Gods) (theatrical-Fuji TV)
  * _Resurrection F_

    * Series = `13 x 20 = 260` Minutes footage
    * Movie = [94 Minutes footage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Ball_Z:_Resurrection_%27F%27)

this shows that both season have more footage than their original movies. Are
there any major difference between Season 1 and 2 of Dragon Ball Super and the
Dragonball Z movies they are named from that would warrant someone who has
been the 2 movies to watch the first 2 seasons.

Are there any major difference between Season 1 and 2 of Dragon Ball Super and the Dragonball Z movies they are named from?


I'm talking about what I remember but generally if you watched the movies,
skip the first two seasons because they are just a time waster and for the
most part really boring.

In the first movie when Goku encountered Beerus he immediately switched to
SSJ3 to fight him, where in the anime he fought in the SS1 and SS2 forms
first. Also after the battle, in the movie Beerus mentioned that he was using
70% of his strength while in the anime he simply said he was not using all of
his power. I'm sure there are some more details I have missed (oh yeah maybe
another important one: in the movie they were fighting at the Capsule Corp
headquarter while in the series the battle was on a cruise ship.

The second movie: most notable changes in the anime are that Ginyu swapped
bodies with Tagoma and that Piccolo had died. Also there is a difference in
how the dragon wishes were used but I don't remember how it went right.

If you plan to watch the series, as I said before you can skip the first 2
seasons, nothing major was changed and it is a real slog. Almost an entire
episode was dedicated to Goku's transformation to a God. They literally stand
in the circle for 10 minutes while he was transforming.

There are some details that might be relevant in later developments of the
story concepts or not. For example

> In the movie , when wounded by Sorbet's laser , Goku is in Super Saiyan
> Blue, in the series he's in base form. This might be relevant or not to a
> story concept, to the idea of if a Super Saiyan Blue can lower his ki to
> base level or not. (It would seem in the series they fixed the idea that a
> Super Saiyan Blue could be hurt by a simple laser, but it's not clear.  
>  
> Another more relevant is in the series is shown Goku Super Saiyan God (red)
> have regeneration habilities, something that isnt show in the movie

Those are minor details that might be more important or not in the future,
depending how the story concepts evolve

About differences that last long, there are several ones, for example

> Tagoma kills Shisami in the series. In the series Tagoma is shown to be
> extremely powerful, to the point of being able to fight Roshi, Krilin,
> Piccolo and Gohan in base form at the same time. Captain Ginyu appears in
> the series (it doesnt appear in the movie) and steals Tagoma body. Later
> Ginyu is killed by Vegeta .  
>  
> Gotenks has some intervention in the series fight, something that doesnt
> happen in the movie. Those are some of the differences.

In conclusion, worth watching the series in my opinion to see those
differences I mentioned in the spoilers section of the post
