Are there any major difference between Season 1 and 2 of Dragon Ball Super and the Dragonball Z movies they are named from? 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 (theatrical-Fuji TV)

Resurrection F


Series = 13 x 20 = 260 Minutes footage
Movie = 94 Minutes footage 



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.
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.
