Does anyone else think the marketing undersold Holly Hunter as Chancellor Ake? [Very minor Academy spoilers]

After watching the trailers for Academy I generally liked what I saw, but Holly Hunter felt oddly reminiscent of Geneviève Bujold as Janeway. I even made a comment somewhere on here that was like "I need to be sold more on Holly Hunter".

The marketing made her out to be a "barefoot bohemian who loves old books and records and lounges around the bridge" which honesyl did not appeal to me but I ended up absolutely loving it. She is somehow nailing being a Starfleet captain without falling back on any familiar tropes.
