Lightning should awaken copper golem statues

When lightning strikes, the oxidation level of nearby copper blocks gets reduced. This also applies to lightning rods and copper golem statues. If the copper golem statue is completely unoxidised and gets hit by lightning again, it should turn back into a copper golem.

This would make the whole mechanics more fun, as naturally frozen copper golems could also naturally come to life again.

Maybe one should increase the likelihood of such an event by letting copper golem (statues) function as lightning rods themself. I.e., they would attract lightning like a lightning rod. This would be only logical since the copper golems have a remnant of the lightning rod on top of their heads.

    I like the idea, but I think this might not have been added because Mojang doesn't want to make lightning rods useless if another block with the same ability and more is added. To fix this, I think lightning rods could be included in the golem recipe, with a copper block on the bottom, a carved pumpkin in the middle, and a lightning rod on top.

    Then again, this might have been added so that you can use copper golems in builds without lightning being attracted to them, changing the aesthetic, causing damage to the buildings, or even just changing the copper golem oxidation. Then again again, if that is the concern, perhaps they could make it so waxed copper golems don't attract lightning but normal ones do
