Comment on Do you consider Alien to be cyberpunk?

There’s more biopunk here than cyber.
It’s set on a spaceship… I’m not saying you can’t have cyberpunk in space, but it takes a lot more than just a big corporation to turn a monster horror into cyberpunk.
Aliens, the sequel has more of the aesthetic I guess, and which sequel was that with the crazy doctor… That one might fit a tad more but it still has more bio in it.

Interesting, I would’ve said Aliens was less cyberpunk due to the military being the main characters. The first Alien is the only one that centers around a group of nobodies, which I think makes it more of a candidate to be cyberpunk.
