Is it cool to just pull off the bad leaves or will that kill the whole plant?And does it matter how i pul em off if i can?

Do you mean dead leaves? If a leaf is dying or dead it will easily fall off, just give it a little tug. I generally don't cut off leaves unless there dead, but it won't kill your plant if you do.

I've got no practical experience, but my gut instinct is telling me you wont gain a lot by pulling it off. Mother nature knows what's best, and if it was a big advantage to drop a "shitty" leaf before it was dead, I'm sure it would have evolved to drop leaves sooner. I'd just leave it personally and try to change one variable at a time to find out why those leaves are unhappy.

If it's dying or even dead it's not doing it's job (gathering sunlight). It would just be getting in the way of lower leaves doing there jobs. So I'd pluck 'em if they are 50% damaged. I'd also fix what ever is wrong w/ the plant as a whole.
