It never much bothered me in the comics, but in the movie universes, it's kind of annoying.
I was annoyed by the Spider-Man: Homecoming completely retconning the timeline with the "8 years later", or the fact that Lady Sif said on Agents of SHIELD that an alien hadn't visited Earth in hundreds of years or whatever. Obviously aliens of visited Earth an almost ridiculous amount of times.
I'm now annoyed by the fact that the DCEU retconned Wonder Woman "giving up on mankind" a hundred years ago. Like.. they shouldn't have made that a part of BvS or at the very least they shouldn't have mentioned the "100 years" at all.
It's not the end of the world, but it is certainly annoying.

Obviously aliens of visited Earth an almost ridiculous amount of times. Sif said that? Did she forget that Thor visited Earth? She even visited Earth herself. I'm now annoyed by the fact that the DCEU retconned Wonder Woman "giving up on mankind" a hundred years ago. Like.. they shouldn't have made that a part of BvS Diana never said she "gave up" on Mankind. In BvS, she said she "walked away" from Mankind. Diana believed that the Great War was caused by Ares controlling Mankind and forcing them to fight, but she discovered that wasn't true. She discovered that Mankind has the capacity for both good and evil and all Ares did was persuade Mankind to choose the path towards evil. Diana's job was to kill Ares and she did that. Her job wasn't to meddle with Mankind like Ares did or impose her will as a demi-goddess over Mankind (her father Zeus created Mankind and gave Mankind free will). With no other supernatural or superhuman threats to Mankind after Ares was killed, she had to just step back and let Mankind choose its own path. So she "walked away", living a life of her own (since she couldn't return to Themyscira) and keeping her identity and powers a secret from the world. This is supported by Diana's final lines in the movie: " I used to want to save the world. To end war and bring peace to Mankind. But then I glimpsed the darkness that lives within their light. I learned that inside every one of them there will always be both. A CHOICE EACH MUST MAKE FOR THEMSELVES. SOMETHING NO HERO WILL EVER DEFEAT."

It wasn't in reference to Thor visiting Earth though. She was talking about before that.. but I've seen all the shows and movies.. and aliens have visited Earth so many times. Ego from GotGv2 visited in like the 80s. As for Wonder Woman I was mostly referring to Gal Gadot's own comments on the matter which I guess she could be wrong about. I'll have to re-watch BvS and Wonder Woman to gain a more accurate opinion. Apologies if I spoke too soon.

I don't see how the 8 years later thing is a retcon, and actually I don't see why it matters at all. All the events happened in the order you see them. The stated time is completely irrelevant.

It also helps explain why Cap is so well-adjusted to our time period by Civil War if he's been in the 21st century for almost a decade.
