Thoughts on the issue? These are two large leaves at the bottom of the plant facing away from the window.

Should I just chop those two off and allow the good stuff to grow?

yellow marks like these are usually from overwatering or too dense of a soil media. i don’t cut off leaves until they are entirely spent (totally yellow and brown) but others prefer to remove unsightly leaves even if they still have photosynthetic ability

It’s up to you if your prefer aesthetically to trim them. If he could get closer to that window, he’d love it. 😇
