The first two episodes are set before BoG and have some cute moments for Goku and Vegeta's families, they're original slice of life episodes.
The next seven episodes have just been BoG with all the best parts removed and a lot of padding and worse jokes put in to replace the good stuff.
As someone who really didn't like BoG, I still find it far superior to Super's version. I actually find the choices they've made in Super quite baffling, even a straight retelling would be better than omitting the best gags and character moments from the film.
also that. They're handling characterisation a lot worse, Beerus seems less silly and more malicious, Boo is an asshole who treats Satan like crap in every scene he appears in, Roshi and Chichi are tgeir filler versions, etc.

Honestly, I cant't agree with the negative criticism. The animation has gotten spotty at times, but I've consistently enjoyed the show to this point. The only episode that I felt dragged out too long was the last one where they had the gang summon Shenron and godded Goku up. That makes sense, though, because you want him to start freshly transformed for the fight episode. I think the humor is great. Beerus is also exactly what I expected, which I'm enjoying immensely.
I can't complain. Is Bo G better? In a lot of ways, yes. I, however, am enjoying the show as its own thing.
I actually like Super's depiction of Beerus. I feel like the fact that the man blows up planets for lulz was glossed over in Battle of Gods.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I haven't kept up with the movies or Super, but Super doing their own versions of the movies struck me as extremely odd. I get the point - they want it to come directly after Z and don't want to force people to watch the movies first - but it still comes off as tedious and unnecessary.
Yeah, Z kinda did the same thing with the Dead Zone movie, but as far as I could tell no one gave two shits about it.
So the preview for episode 50 is up on You Tube and it entitled "Incongruities".
So, yeah, they're definitely doing the title changing to words synonymous with "inconsistency" on purpose.

I'm sorry Super worst than the movie? You guys are insane. The whole Bingo thing is clearly overrated as hell on this site. Also Beerus is better in Super as adding some malevolence to his character makes sense. He's the effin god of destruction that's the short of thing you'd expect.
Also I think it might be because I'm one of those people not crynig about the animation every 30 seconds. Okay, we get it, the studio is screwing up/being cheap, learn to deal with it guys.
I mean if the animation was god awful or cringe then I can understand the complaints, but what I have been seeing so far is passable.
In all honesty you guys are treating this as something far worse than what it is.
I've been enjoying Super so far. It hasn't done anything new yet, and Toei is still...being Toei...in regards to the characterisation, but some of the things they changed were interesting and in some cases better than the movie.
And the first two episodes were the best thing ever and I don't care what anyone says.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!DB Super eliminated drunk Saiyaman being irresponsible and deflecting bullets with his finger in a crowded area (which I personally thought was even funnier than the Bingo thing). Instead, we got an entire episode of Pilaf's gang being hungry (a group of characters who is now useless, considering they didn't hint at Videl's pregnancy, nor did their shenanigans anger Beerus).
Also, Saiga is right when he says Boo is mistreating Hercule. I kinda forgot about it, but it's really cringe-worthy, considering Hercule begged for his life on the grounds that he's a nice guy, not Beerus-lite.
The first two episodes were pretty decent, though. I'd rather have them stick to that sort of thing.

Wait. Is Dragon Ball Super just retelling Battle of Gods and Resurrection of F but with filler put in?
