Clark "befriending" Zod: Does it change future?

Yes! This is how Clark can defeat Zod. Clark doesn't yet know what a homicidal sociopath Zod is. One who would execute one of his own soldiers for independent thinking and action. While Clark would like to turn Zod we can see he will not. But what Clark can do is show Zod's soldiers what a just and merciful leader is like. They have never known one. I think Clark can defeat Zod by usurping the loyalty of his army.Comment

As I've stated before, When fighting your enemy doesn't work, the only thing left is to befriend him, and wait for the proper moment, to stab him in the back.
Clark is doing that. He knows how bad Zod is.
Besides snapping Zod's neck like a twig, Clark has a multitude of ways to stop Zod.Comment

We all know how well Clark being friends with Lex and Davis Bloome turned out...I'm just hoping we don't have a repeat of the unfortunate doomsday incident.
At this point last year, we were pretty excited too how well everything was shaping up. Then it all went downhill (with the exception of a couple good episodes like legion and hex) from there.Comment

You know befriending the "good" sides of Lex, Davis Bloome, and Zod well you what happened after. Surely Clark sucks when befriending his enemies, that's how they get so vengeful and hatred against you look what happened to Lex he almost unleashed apocaplypse if he becomes president; look what happened to Zod, he help destroyed his own planet; Doomsday, he kills Clark in the future. Geez, Clark should stop; I hope he ain't going befriend Amanda Waller or even Darkseid.Comment

I'm guessing everyone is missing the point of the episode: Clark tried just treating Zod as an enemy, and the world went to hell anyway. He couldn't stop Zod from taking over.
If Clark had stayed on that course of action, why would he think the outcome would be different? Just because he has a heads up?
Clark needs a different plan of attack in this case. This is about to be a high-stakes chess game with him and Zod. Best case senario - he actually is able to change Zod. Worse case? He already has an in with Zod and will be able to checkmate Zod when Zod isn't looking.Comment

Yeah its just like i said before: its the simple scenario of Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Clark needs to see how Zod thinks to bring him down for good. If Clark rushes in and throws Zod around, dont you think Zod will be expecting that? Clark has to be more rational than he has in the past. This is the best approachComment

I have a feeling Tess is going to be the one who derails Clark's plan here too. She saw herself die and she's going to be in full-fledged survival mode.
Clark is also, gasp, listening to what Jor-El told him in Kandor. If he didn't listen, all the Clark haterz would be complaining the other way. Another no win situation for Clark.Comment

I can't wait for Superman to grow up and realize he has to kill all his enemies and not try to save them! I love comics.Comment
-
Yeah, that sounds like Bizarro Superman.
Um, I don't see comics having Clark kill anyone else other than Zod and the other two that one time.
"Wahh! I killed 3 people, I need to sob about it in deep space!"
Grow up, Superman.Comment

Yes. He isn't listening to Oliver and Chloe.

I agree with you too, Jlvsclrk, that Tess will be another kink in the chain that Clark won't see coming, b/c he didn't see her part in the whole scenario.Comment

I really hope the writers are trying to write Clark's naivety on befriending Zod as a clever twist to him waiting for the right time to stop him from building the solar towers.As others have said,he should have learned from Lex and especially Davis that befriending the enemy isn't the best or brightest solution.I hope he doesn't have the mindset that,because this Zod's a clone he can try and set a new destiny for him that's for the greater good.Comment

Clark doesn't know the whole history of what happened in the future. He just knows how it ended. He might just be following the same path he did to begin with by trying to befriend Zod and then changed course and Zod turns against Clark. This is going to be an interesting journey and I'm apprehensive about Clark's choices. I think though in the end he will make the right ones.Comment
