To be fair, pretty much the entire point of Preacher (the comic) - and most of Garth Ennis' work in general - is making people feel uncomfortable and pissing people off.

So if you don't find at least a few things offensive, then the show really isn't doing its job. Or there's something broken inside of you anyway.

That being said, I can honestly say that I've never given a single fuck what Seth Rogen thinks about pretty much anything, but neither do I like Preacher or pretty much anything Ennis has ever written, so I have no dogs in this fight whatsoever.

As a completely disinterested outsider, though, it is worth noting that Hitler DID have a human side. And there's plenty of literature out there that humanizes or even protagonizes people who are arguably just as bad (if not worse - stuff like Paradise Lost and Lucifer basically present the literal Devil himself as a relatively nice, likeable guy. Actually, Satan-as-Good is actually a damned common trope in a lot of fiction, now that I think about it - http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SatanIsGood ). No matter how hung up people may be on the Holocaust or WWII in general, it's pretty much inevitable that we're eventually going to start seeing more and more nuanced versions of Hitler showing up over time.



Though if people are annoyed by Hitler, I wonder how many people are going to shit themselves if/when they get around to the arc where it turns out that God is and has always been a massive asshole, who then gets murdered and replaced by the Saint of Killers. Because like 90% of the point of Preacher is shitting on the entire concept of religion.
