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

<blockquote class="spoiler">
  <p> 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.<br><br>Another more relevant is in the series is shown Goku Super Saiyan God (red) have regeneration habilities, something that isnt show in the movie</p>
</blockquote>

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

<p>About differences that last long, there are several ones, for example </p>

<blockquote class="spoiler">
  <p> 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 . <br><br>Gotenks has some intervention in the series fight, something that doesnt happen in the movie. Those are some of the differences. </p>
</blockquote>

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

BTW, the regeneration habilities shown in the series which dont exist in the movie, might make that form perfect to use it for a higher level of kaioken, even better than base form. If they had the intention or realize about that, we dont know, but Toyotaro in the manga uses to explore ideas like that, if you read the last chapter of the manga you'll know what I mean. And let's not forget Toyotaro who is running the manga is a former fan with a former Dragon Ball fan work, so it wont be a surprise if the fandom has a stronger influence over his ideas than it has over Toei or Toriyama

<p>Season 1 of Dragonball Z Super is <em>Battle of Gods</em> and Season 2 is <em>Resurrection F</em>, 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</p>

<ul>
<li><p><em>Battle of Gods</em></p>

<ul>
<li>Series = <code>14 x 20 = 280</code> Minutes footage</li>
<li>Movie = <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Ball_Z:_Battle_of_Gods" rel="nofollow noreferrer">85-105 Minutes footage</a> (theatrical-Fuji TV)</li>
</ul></li>
<li><p><em>Resurrection F</em></p>

<ul>
<li>Series = <code>13 x 20 = 260</code> Minutes footage</li>
<li>Movie = <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Ball_Z:_Resurrection_%27F%27" rel="nofollow noreferrer">94 Minutes footage</a> </li>
</ul></li>
</ul>

<p>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.</p>
